to suffer from sadness or depression than individuals who wore
hearing aids. It was found that individuals not using hearing aids
showed more signs of anger, anxiety and frustration, causing them
to be less involved in social 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 skincare routine is important for men and women of all ages,
although it will vary throughout the years.
TEENAGE YEARS
When starting your first skincare 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.
