Why Hard of Hearing People Love Hearing Loops in Churches Rather Than FM Systems

  by Neil Bauman, Ph.D.   May, 2018   A man wrote, I am going to approach my church about installing a hearing loop system. It is going to be a “hard sell” because the church already has a largely-unused FM system and apparently, I am the only person interested in, and familiar enough with, […]

Installing a Hearing Loop System in a Church Is Not a Do-It-Yourself Project

  by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. © March, 2018   A man wrote, I am a member of the technical committee at our church and we are investigating installing a hearing loop system. When an addition was built for our new sanctuary, we ran the cable for a loop system. What we are planning on doing […]

Moving-Tongue Tinnitus

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. ©  March, 2018, revised March, 2020 Over the years, people with all sorts of weird tinnitus have contacted me. As a result, I’ve written about nodding-chime tinnitus, gaze-evoked tinnitus, reactive tinnitus, pulsatile tinnitus, squeaking tinnitus and touch-sensitive (somatic) tinnitus as well as the common neurophysiologic tinnitus that we normally just call […]

Reactive Tinnitus

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. ©  February, 2018 Introduction Reactive tinnitus is a fairly new term.

Neil Bauman, Ph.D. January, 2018 (revised October, 2024) People often ask me which are the least ototoxic beta blockers (or other classes of anti-hypertensive drugs) to take for high blood pressure (hypertension).

Cytomegalovirus and Hearing Loss

  by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. © November, 2017   Introduction to Cytomegalovirus Perhaps you have never heard of cytomegalovirus (CMV), but the chances are, this virus has already infected your body. By age 40, between 50% and 80% of adults in the United States have already been infected by the cytomegalovirus. (1) This incidence increases […]

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Drugs (SSRIs) and Tinnitus

  Neil Bauman, Ph.D. © October, 2017   Drugs are a fickle lot. You take a drug to fix one problem, only to find it causes another—and often worse—problem. For example, some antidepressant drugs alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety by increasing the level of serotonin in your brain. Unfortunately, at the same time, this […]

  by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. February 28, 2017   An audiologist wrote, I am an Italian audiologist. Whenever I can, I encourage the use of hearing loops. Recently, the registry office of an important Italian city was interested in installing a counter hearing loop. They wanted me to guarantee that the employees working at the […]

"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life [which also includes perfect hearing] through Jesus Christ our Lord." [Romans 6:23]

"But know this, in the last days perilous times will come" [2 Timothy 3:1]. "For there will be famines, pestilences, and [severe] earthquakes in various places" [Matthew 24:7], "distress of nations, the sea and the waves roaring"—tsunamis, hurricanes—Luke 21:25, but this is good news if you have put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, for "when these things begin to happen, lift up your heads [and rejoice] because your redemption draws near" [Luke 21:28].
