Keep your eyes on the road. Obviously, it’s good advice, but it doesn’t speak to your other senses. As an example, think about the amount of work your ears are doing while driving.

The last time you had dinner with family, you were pretty frustrated. It wasn’t because of family drama (this time).

Your ability to hear is precious – once you lose it, the likelihood of getting it back in its natural form is slim to nil. But curiously, the general public tends to disregard hearing loss. In the US alone, one in eight people over the age of 12 copes with neglected and permanent hearing loss. […]

Scientists think that 20-somethings who wear hearing aids will soon become more common as hearing loss is a public health issue.
