By Lolly Wigall I don’t shop on eBay much, but there are lots of people who do.  I have an account and over the years I have purchased flower seeds for my garden and sunscreens to cover patios, but that’s about it.  I just rarely check the website.  But after a recent experience, I have visited this website more.

By Steven Eagon, MA I love watching all types of athletes when they are at the peak of their game.  When younger and physically gifted, they typically succeed on sheer skill, speed, agility, strength, and brute force.  But as athletes age, they become more cerebral with how they understand their chosen sport.

By Lolly Wigall My husband Steve is an amateur magician. He became interested in magic when he was a young boy, reading magazines, buying magic tricks and perfecting them. He has performed before audiences and developed magic routines for events.  It takes time and energy to write a script to keep the audience with you and distracted from what is

By Lolly Wigall Learning to listen to others is an art.  It takes patience and practice to figure out our feelings and thoughts.  With our busy lifestyles, we may tend to just talk off the top of our heads.  Most of us have little time to stop and think about our thoughts.

By Lolly Wigall I really like being an audiologist.  I enjoy helping people hear well.  I appreciate the technological changes that have taken place over my many years working as an audiologist. I like doing hearing tests and explaining the test results to patients and their families. I especially like selling and fitting hearing aids.  I really enjoy the listening part. 

By Lolly Wigall When I first went into private practice in audiology, I remember being excited about promoting the “May Is Better Hearing and Speech Month” campaign. I had purchased my practice in August 1989, and I was planning on going all out for May 1990. Being a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), I ordered ASHA’s kit in January

By Lolly Wigall Is it okay that I goof sometimes? I don’t view myself as a perfectionist, but I do like to look good to the outside world. I like to present well. I like to act as if I am coping effectively with life’s situations. I like to view myself as a professional audiologist who owns a business and

By Lolly Wigall I was reading a professional magazine this morning while I was drinking my coffee.  I have to admit that I generally do not read professional magazines.  I see all the research articles with the wonderful graphs and statistics and my eyes glaze over.  I may read the intro and the conclusion.  But, reading the actual study does
