    Apple’s latest surprise gives Australians a hearing boost: Is it right for you?

    As a wearer of hearing aids due to moderate hearing loss and aged 76, I'm a little leery of these developments. I would be quite happy to trade my current aids for AirPods but I know the value of a thorough test by a registered audiologist. "Hearby" lies the problem. Most audiologists work for...

    Silent killer strikes: Deadly bacterial outbreak claims two lives, infects 28

    Mum reveals ‘no folding’ laundry hack - genius or just lazy?

    I guess it's an age thing. I'm a retired house husband and would no sooner put clothes away unfolded or unhung, than fly. I'm a Baby Boomer, my son is a Millenium who would love this "hack" mainly because it applies to him. At least he does the washing, sometimes sorts, but very rarely folds. He...
