When you think about hearing aids, intimacy most likely isn’t the first thing you think about. We get it. These little devices are normally presented in very concrete terms. Less defined expressions including poetry, music, and art are more suited to the subject of love. And yet, the two are inextricably linked to the point […]
It’s frequently said that hearing loss is a gradual process. It can be quite subtle for this very reason. Your hearing gets worse not in giant leaps but by little steps. And that can make the gradual decline in your ears hard to keep track of, particularly if you aren’t looking for it. Because of […]
One way your body delivers information to you is through pain response. It’s an effective strategy though not a very enjoyable one. When that megaphone you’re standing next to gets too loud, the pain lets you know that major ear damage is happening and you immediately (if you’re smart) cover your ears or remove yourself […]
If you cut your leg, it heals. If you stub your toe, it might feel bruised and inflamed but the inflammation will subside, and you’ll feel better in a little while. Even if you break a bone, when properly set, it will heal. But if hearing is damaged what happens. Can the inner ear heal […]
Hearing loss is usually considered an older person’s issue – as a matter of fact, it’s estimated that nearly 50% of individuals aged 75 and older copes with some kind of hearing loss. But despite the fact that in younger people it’s entirely preventable, research shows that they too are in danger of developing hearing […]
We all enjoy a good bargain. But when it has to do with your health, be careful what you buy and keep your eye on the small details. The names “hearing aid” and “hearing amplifier” might seem similar but they are actually entirely different devices. And making the wrong selection could have important ramifications for […]
Even if you have glasses (the type you put on your face, not the kind you fill with liquid), you still visit your eye doctor yearly, right? Because, over time, your eyes change. Nothing in your body is fixed, not your eyes and not, it turns out, your ears either. That’s why, even after you’ve […]
Over the last several decades the public perception of cannabinoids and marijuana has changed significantly. Cannabinoids, marijuana, and THC products are now allowed for medical use in many states. The concept that some states (fewer) even allow the recreational usage of pot would have been unimaginable 10 years ago. Any compounds derived from the cannabis […]
It’s an unfortunate fact of life that hearing loss is part of the aging process. Approximately 38 million people in the United States suffer from some form of hearing loss, though since hearing loss is expected as we age, many decide to leave it unchecked. Ignoring hearing loss, however, can have serious negative side effects […]
Otitis media is the medical name for what you probably call an ear infection. Ear infections like this are often seen in babies and young children but they can affect adults, as well, especially during or after a cold or sinus infection. Even a bad tooth can lead to an ear infection. Hearing loss is […]
