: August wasn’t always the eighth month of the year.

In the old Roman calendar, August was called Sextilis, meaning “sixth” in Latin, because the year originally had just ten months! It wasn’t until around 700 BC, when January and February were added to the calendar, that August shifted into its now-familiar eighth spot.

A little bit of history, language, and calendar chaos. 😀

Is it a problem if water gets in your ear? 💧👂

It’s actually pretty common and usually nothing to worry about.

But if water gets trapped, it can feel uncomfortable and sometimes lead to an infection.

Here’s how to help it drain safely:
✔️ Tilt your head and gently tug your earlobe
✔️ Use a hair dryer on a low, cool setting (from a safe distance!)
❌ Skip the cotton swabs — they can push water in deeper

Ever had water stuck in your ear? What worked for you or didn’t?

Your brain turns sound into meaning

It’s pure magic and science!

✨ Sound waves enter your ear.
✨ Your inner ear (like the incredible cochlea!) transforms vibrations into electrical signals.
✨ Those signals travel via your auditory nerve straight to your brain and suddenly, you’re hearing laughter, music, and voices that matter.

It’s a tiny, high-tech symphony happening every second. Let’s make sure your hearing system is in tune.

📅 Book your hearing test today!
