Millions of years ago, the world was a lot different. The long-necked Diplacusis wandered this volcano-laden landscape. Thanks to its really 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.

It’s a normal first reaction – denial. My loved one must be simply making it seem like their hearing loss is worse than it actually is. She’s not old enough to need a hearing aid. Perhaps, it’s become a joke between the two of you. She is always asking you to repeat what you said. […]
