When’s The Right Time for a Hearing Evaluation

There’s good news and bad news about hearing loss. The good news is that your brain is amazingly good at overcoming many obstacles, including things like hearing loss. You may be suffering from a slight decline right now and you are not aware of it, because you’ve found ways to compensate. By coping and adapting, you feel like you are getting by.
    
So, what’s the bad news? You may be adapting so well that you don’t know what you’re missing. You’re unaware of lost information, lost opportunities, and the lost energy you spend just trying to keep up. Maybe those embarrassing moments when you don’t catch someone’s name or some other important bits of information are growing more frequent.

Know what you’re missing

In age-related hearing loss, the condition progresses as you get older. Your brain may be good at continuing to adapt but straining to listen tends to diminish the parts of your life that matter most: sharing with friends and family, keeping ahead in your business, and spending time in your community.

People with advanced hearing loss describe this state as a feeling of isolation; of being trapped. They find it physically and emotionally tiring to hear conversations in noisy settings. It’s just too hard to make the effort. So, they give up.

Break through isolation with the latest hearing technology
There is help for people with hearing loss: a wonderful array of modern hearing solutions that can make it easier to break through the wall of isolation and focus on what’s important. Modern hearing technology can help bring back a fuller and more vibrant social life and more rewarding listening experiences.

Now’s the time to evaluate your hearing

An evaluation by a hearing professional is quick, simple and painless. It’s your first step to reclaiming the vibrant life you love, in a way that adapting, coping or older hearing technology cannot. The only way to recognize what you’re currently missing is to try a state-of-the art hearing device in your own home, your own office and your own daily life. Right now is a great time to evaluate your hearing.

Myth 2: Hearing instruments are uncomfortable and unattractive.
Ironically, this myth persists because modern hearing instruments like Intiga are so well concealed that most people never see them. The styles most people see in public are actually older generation units worn either directly in the ear or in a large behind-the-ear case. Instruments like Intiga are an astonishing blend of camouflage and miniaturization that disappear behind the ear, tinted to blend with your hair or skin color. They are ultra-light, and you barely feel the Intiga receiver as it hovers over your ear canal and delivers sparkling, vibrant sound.

What are the Differences Between Allergies and A Cold?

Image
  While allergy symptoms may seem very similar to cold symptoms there are several things that can help an individual determine what may be the cause of their symptoms. Allergies typically cause chronic symptoms while cold symptoms are more acute. A cold can affect a person for 7-10 days while allergies can affect an individual seasonally or chronically through out the year. Cold symptoms are caused by a viral infection. Symptoms typically present asrunny or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, congestion, slight body aches, mild headache, sneezing, and a low-grade fever. As the cold is caused by a virus, antibiotics will not typically improve symptoms. Over the counter cold and flu medications will help treat the symptoms while the infection runs its course. Allergies occur when your immune system identifies a particular allergen as harmful even though it isn’t. Your immune system reaction can inflame your skin, sinuses, airways, or digestive system. Allergy testing includes environmental
