TikTok has some really awesome videos you’ve probably watched. Babies, after they just get hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. Sometimes, at first, the baby is reluctant. They fight when the doctor tries to place the device in their ear. Before they smile with delight, they may cry a […]
Pizza is an interesting thing. As long as it meets a few basic criteria (crust, sauce, cheese, etc.) regardless of the toppings, it’s still pizza. Hearing loss is similar.
