Millions of years ago, the world was quite a bit different. The long-necked Diplacusis wandered this volcano-laden landscape. Thanks to its extra long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so large that it was afraid of no predator. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period.

Denial is a typical first reaction. My loved one must be just making it seem as if their hearing loss is worse than it actually is. She’s not old enough for a hearing aid. Maybe, it’s become a joke between the two of you. She is always asking you to repeat what you said. It’s […]
