From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Audiology (from Latin audÄ«re, to hear; and from Greek -Î»Î¿Î³Î¯Î±, -logia) is a branch of science that studies hearing, balance, and related disorders. Its practitioners, who treat those with hearing loss and proactively prevent related damage are audiologists.
Many Americans will spring forward an hour to mark the beginning of daylight savings time (DST)âalso known as daylight saving timeâat 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8. Time will fall back to standard time again on Sunday, November 1, when DST ends.
So, the rationale was that Daylight Saving Time saves energy for lighting in all seasons of the year, but it saves least during the four darkest months of winter (November, December, January, and February), when the afternoon advantage is offset by the need for lighting because of late sunrise.
