You enjoy swimming and are all about going into the water. The pool is like your second home (when you were younger, everyone said you were part fish–that’s how regularly you wanted to go swimming). Today, the water sounds a little… louder… than normal. And then you recognize your oversight: you went in the pool […]
Your ability to hear is valuable – once you lose it, the likelihood of getting it back in its natural form is slim to nil. But strangely, the general public tends to neglect hearing loss. In fact, permanent hearing loss affects one in every eight individuals (about 30 million people) over the age of 12 […]
When you imagine hearing aids, intimacy probably isn’t the first thing you think about. We get it. These tiny devices are usually advertised in rather concrete terms. Less defined expressions like poetry, music, and art are more suited to the subject of love. But you may want to begin viewing your hearing aid as an […]
It’s often said that hearing loss is a slow-moving process. It can be rather subtle for this very reason. Your hearing gets worse not in giant leaps but by tiny steps. And that can make the progressive decline in your hearing hard to track, particularly if you aren’t watching for it. That’s why knowing the […]
Pain is your body’s means of giving you information. It’s an effective method though not a very pleasant one. When that megaphone you’re standing next to goes too loud, the pain lets you know that severe ear damage is happening and you instantly (if you’re wise) cover your ears or remove yourself from that rather […]
If you cut yourself, that cut will heal. Before too long, your stubbed toe will feel better. Even if you break a bone, when properly set, it will mend. But if you lose your hearing what happens. Is it possible for the inner ear to heal? Will your hearing come back? Can homeopathic treatments help […]
Hearing loss is typically considered an older person’s problem – in fact, it’s estimated that almost 50% of individuals over 75 suffer from some type of hearing loss. But despite the fact that in younger people it’s completely preventable, research shows that they too are at risk of developing hearing loss. In fact, 34% of […]
We all enjoy a good bargain. But when it comes to your health, be careful what you buy and pay attention to the little details. We know, it’s confusing, the names are very similar, but hearing aids and hearing amplifiers are not equivalent. And your general hearing and health could suffer severe repercussions if you […]
Even if you use glasses (the kind you put on your face, not the kind you drink out of), you still see your eye doctor annually, right? Because your eyes change as time passes. Similar to the rest of your body, your eyes aren’t static and neither are your ears. That’s why, even after you’ve […]
Over the past several decades the public perception of cannabinoids and marijuana has changed a lot. Many states now allow the use of marijuana, THC, or cannabinoid products for medicinal reasons. Far fewer states have legalized pot for recreational purposes, but even that would have been unimaginable even just ten or fifteen years ago. Any […]
