Have you noticed the summer clearance ads in the newspapers lately?

"Wait," you say, "summer is just starting."

Merchants know that it's time to stock and sell back to school and fall merchandise, so they think ahead.

It's time to think ahead to fall harvest in your garden. Start cool weather crops like lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and kale in flats, peat pots or open cold frames.

A hearing loss is easy to ignore because there are no visible cues that push it to the "Things to Do TODAY" list.

Many people who suffer from hearing loss are unaware that they are missing so much, and others think that they are getting by well enough or may reason that the degree of loss is not that bad.

What people don't know is that any amount of hearing loss can be a direct link to negative outcomes, such as loss of income, loss of a job, loss of a relationship, reduced mental health, depression and a lower quality of life.
