“After 2½ years, more than half of them (gene therapy recipients) reached a normal level. They can hear a whisper. At that level, it’s better than mine.” - Zheng-Yi Chen, Harvard Medical School associate professor of head and neck surgery at Mass Eye and Ear

Gene therapy yields lasting gains for patients with inherited deafness: “How well it worked is really amazing.”

Both custom fit and universal fit musicians earplugs are designed with artists, audio mixers, and audiences in mind. Both protect against damaging sound levels. Both bring the volume down without degrading the music's sound quality. Custom fit musicians earplugs are the most comfortable, best fitting option...but are more expensive and often require a trip to the audiologist's to have ear impressions made. Universal fit musicians earplugs provide plenty of protection, and preserve the sound quality of the music for less than $50. We can help you get your hands on either option. Dr. Keifer can create ear impressions you can take with you to have your own custom earplugs created. Or visit our webstore - eargoods.com - to purchase a set of musicians earplugs for your next concert.

Did you hear about or actually hear the loud "boom" created over the skies near Cleveland, Ohio this St. Patrick's Day morning?

NASA's Bill Cooke, stated that the sonic booms and explosive noises heard throughout the greater Cleveland area and into Western Pennsylvania were created when a 6 ft. in diameter, 7 ton meteor traveling 45,000 miles per hours split into pieces over Medina, Ohio. It was that fragmenting which released an amount of energy equivalent to 250 tons of exploding TNT that created the large boom.

Skies across Northeast Ohio lit up with a fireball Tuesday morning, caused by an asteroid weighing about seven tons.
