Isn’t pizza interesting? As long as a few criteria are met, you can adjust toppings, cheese, and sauce, and it’s still a pizza. Hearing loss is similar. Symptoms and presentations are caused by a number of different problems, loud noises, genetic factors, age, or ear obstructions, but as long as you have a hard time […]
