activities than those who wear aids. The risk for dementia also
increases in patients who suffer from hearing loss, due to sensory
loss and growing social isolation, pointed out in a study conducted
by the Archives of Neurology.
Start becoming aware of the signs of hearing loss, and consult
your doctor or audiologist if you start to notice some of the
symptoms:
• Trouble hearing over the phone
• Vertigo, causing dizziness, pain, or ringing in the ears
• Mumbled voices
• Having to ask others to repeat themselves often
• Avoidance of social situations
• Having a family medical history of hearing loss.
Individuals with hearing loss may often be reluctant to face the
reality, but may not know about the deeper implications of letting
it go untreated. If you or someone you know may be experiencing
some of the symptoms of hearing loss, be sure to understand and
share the benefits of seeking treatment.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN
As we learned in grade school, our largest organ is our skin. Our
skin regulates body temperature, protects against the elements, and
gives us the feeling of different sensations. Since our skin does so
much for us, it is important to take care of it. A skin care routine
is important for men and women of all ages, although it will vary
throughout the years.

Teenage Years
When starting your first skin care routine, it’s important to first
determine your skin type. It’s pretty simple to figure out whether
oily, dry, or combination. Between breakouts and blemishes, think
about how your skin feels on a day-to-day basis. Here are some do’s
and don’ts about treating your skin during your teens:
• DO: Pick a cleanser, scrub, toner, and moisturizer that are meant
for your skin type. Labels make it easy to choose between the
different brands. Many brands have a line of products developed
especially for oily, dry, or combination skin. It is still important
to put on moisturizer if you have oily skin, but be sure to look for
one that is oil-free.
