In the movies, invisibility is a powerful power. The characters can frequently do the impossible if they have the power of invisibility, whether it’s a spaceship with cloaking ability or a wizard with an invisibility cloak. Regrettably, invisible health conditions are no less potent…and they’re a lot less enjoyable. Tinnitus, for example, is an exceptionally […]
Aging is one of the most typical indicators of hearing loss, and let’s face it, try as we may, we can’t avoid aging. You can do some things to look younger but you’re still aging.
