Munch to Better Hearing

Hearing power is brainpower, and some key foods can help! Certain vitamins and minerals can go a long way toward supporting your hearing wellness, according to HealthyHearing.com. In honor of National Nutrition Month in March, check out these examples:

🍌 Bananas
These reliable delights are rich in potassium, an important mineral for regulating blood and tissue fluid levels — including in the inner ear, which plays an important role in hearing and balance.

🥦 Broccoli
This versatile vegetable with an edible stalk and green flowering head provides folate, which studies have linked to healthy outcomes such as decreased risk of hearing impairment among older men.

🍅 Tomatoes
These juicy fruits — easy to grow and delicious cooked in a sauce or served raw — offer magnesium, which, combined with vitamins A, C, and E, help thwart noise-induced hearing loss.

🐔 Dark-Meat Chicken
This flavorful part of the bird — along with other foods such as beef, oysters, and legumes — delivers zinc, which supports the immune system and may help fight tinnitus or ringing in the ears.

Q: I only have trouble hearing certain sounds, not hearing in general. Do I still need hearing aids?

A: Hearing loss is just that: a loss of certain sounds. Hearing care professionals program hearing aids to amplify the sounds you’re missing and enhance the hearing that’s left. If you’re missing some of the sounds, you’re missing all of the conversation.

We will be closed Monday, September 1 in observance of Labor Day, and will resume normal business hours Tuesday at 7am.

What’s the connection between hearing impairment and cognitive decline? It’s not completely clear how hearing loss, which is also associated with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other common public-health challenges, contributes to development of dementia.

What is clear, however, is the importance of regular hearing checkups to help stave off the threat of cognitive impairment. Tackling risk factors such as hearing loss earlier on could cut dementia cases by a third, according to a research collaborative led by UK psychiatry professor Gill Livingston and involving the Alzheimer’s Society, Alzheimer’s Research UK, and other individuals, institutions, and organizations.

As one of your most crucial senses for communication and perception, hearing not only helps you stay connected to the world but helps keep your brain sharp. Give your hearing health and overall wellness a hand by staying active, eating a diet rich in important nutrients, avoiding excess noise, and scheduling regular hearing checkups.

Dementia is a Real Risk with Hearing Loss

If you think of hearing loss as just an inconsequential part of getting older, you’re not alone.

The truth is, however, that the condition can strike even the youngest among us — more than one in 1,000 babies screened has some form of hearing impairment, per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data — and it can trigger other health problems, too.

Take cognitive decline, for example, which can lead to Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Research has long pointed to links between hearing loss and reduced brain functioning over time, but the statistics may surprise you.

Consider these startling findings:

💡 On average, seniors with hearing loss experience significantly reduced cognitive function 3.2 years before their normal-hearing counterparts.

💡 Hearing-impaired seniors experience thinking and memory problems 30 to 40 percent faster than their normal-hearing counterparts.

💡 Older adults with a hearing disability may lose over a cubic centimeter of brain tissue annually beyond normal shrinkage.

💡 Those with hearing loss are two, three, or nearly five times as likely to develop dementia, depending on the severity of the hearing impairment.

Loop Systems

Connecting you to television, “looped” concert halls, churches, museums, and more, looping allows you to greatly reduce ambient noise and provides a better signal-to-noise ratio for auditory input via hearing aids, which act as tiny, personal audio streamers. Bypassing the need to hear the sounds in a wide-open hall removes possible technical difficulties like reverb (echoed speech) and feedback. Looping offers a hearing “shortcut,” making it easier for you to hear specific inputs in larger rooms.

Looping systems serve as wireless loudspeakers that deliver sound from a source, such as a microphone, directly to your hearing aids. The looping system works similarly to Bluetooth technology, which can be used to stream phone calls, music, and other audio from sources that are Bluetooth compatible.

Tips for Buying:

Your technology needs to be compatible with the telecoil in your hearing devices.
Check with your hearing health care provider for installation of a loop in your home, church, or office.

Every object has a ‘Center of Gravity’. This is where the average weight of any object (including people) is located. When we balance, we have to keep our center of gravity supported. That is to say, we have to ‘hold up’ our weight! Whatever is holding up your weight is called your ‘Base of Support’. If you are standing on two feet, then those feet are your base. If you are standing on one foot, then only that one foot is your base. If you are sitting, them your bottom is your base.

To stay balanced, we have to keep our center of gravity (our weight) over top of the base of support (whatever is holding us up).

When training patients to balance, one of the first tasks is to get the person to recognize and feel their center of gravity. Many times, people who have balance problems lose this sense. This is one reason they fall, as they cannot feel when they are placing their weight outside of the area that is supporting it! Sometimes, assistive devices such as canes or walkers help. But even with a cane or walker, most patients still may benefit from balance training to help reduce the likelihood of a fall.

Q: I’ve tried hearing aids before, and they didn’t work for me. What will be different this time?

A: Hearing aid technology changes as rapidly as any other technology out there. Advancements in digital hearing aids make for clearer speech, less background noise, and an overall more enjoyable and natural listening experience. Again, it’s important to go to a trusted hearing care professional at an AudigyCertified practice to help get the most appropriate device and to learn how to use it properly.
