Looking outside today, I think it might actually be summer! I don’t know about you, but 2022 ranks as one of the longer winters in my memory. Now is finally the time to turn our attention to all the things a Minnesota summer can bring. I’m thinking about outdoor activities. Whether it’s gardening, boating, fishing, […]
The answer to this question has really changed over my almost 30 years in the industry.

I wanted to write this down because sometimes, even when you think you know something, in the heat of the moment, you forget what you know. My wife and I were just at the beginning of a weekend that we had been looking forward to for quite a while. My sister and brother-in-law were in […]
This subject is one we talk about daily: the difference between loudness and clarity. While these two words might seem to be interchangeable, in the world of hearing aids, there is a clear difference (no pun intended).
