For someone with hearing loss, social situations are challenging. Help improve communication with them by following these simple tips: • Gain their attention before you begin talking. • Speak naturally & don’t shout. Speak distinctly, at a normal rate, using pauses to give the person time to process speech. • Keep your hands away from your face while talking. • Avoid sudden changes of topic. And if the subject is changed, tell them what you are talking about now. • Seat them where they can see as many faces as possible. • Check in. If you think your listener may not be following, convey the information again in shorter, clearer sentences.
Permanent Hair-Loss Solution
Natural-looking hair transplant results are possible today thanks to advancements in the procedure, with improvements including placing a few healthy hairs at a time and creating a more natural-looking hairline. Men and women are both good candidates for hair transplants, provided they have enough healthy hair on their scalp that can be transplanted and have the ability to grow hair on the thinning area of the scalp. Most transplants take between four and eight hours and only require anesthesia that numbs the scalp. Results can typically be seen between six and nine months after surgery, or sometimes 12 months.

Recognize Hearing Loss Signs
October is National Protect Your Hearing Month, a perfect time to recognize signs of hearing loss. Keep an eye out for these warning signs: frequently asking others to repeat themselves, needing to turn up the TV or radio volume, or experiencing persistent ringing in your ears. Difficulty understanding conversations in noisy environments, missing everyday sounds, or having trouble hearing when your back is turned to someone are also key indicators. Speaking too loudly or finding phone conversations challenging may also signal hearing issues. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes, so prioritize your hearing health this month.
Transform Your Thoughts for Better Health
Masaru Emoto’s groundbreaking research suggests that human consciousness can affect the molecular structure of water. Since our bodies are 70% water and our brains are 80% water, the thoughts we have directly influence our well-being. Negative thoughts like “I’m not good enough” distort water molecules, while positive thoughts like “I am loved” create harmonious, symmetrical structures. Past negative beliefs often keep us stuck in harmful thought patterns. A Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.) treatment helps to update those outdated programs, allowing you to shift toward more positive thinking and improved health.

Fall Raking Tips
Colourful fall leaves are beautiful but cleaning them up can be a chore! These tips may help reduce injury while raking. Wear proper shoes with good grip to prevent slipping, as well as well-fitting gloves to avoid having to grip the rake too hard. Use proper yard tools and keep from over-reaching to help prevent strain on your back. Switching sides with the rake allows you to share the work between sides. Make sure to bend with your knees when picking up the leaves and bags. Breaks are also helpful, so take a rest when you need it. Happy raking!
