Innovative Hearing Technology
Technology can change our lives and hearing aids are no different. Thanks to technology, devices to help individuals with hearing loss are far from the bulky and difficult ones of the past. There is a huge variety of hearing aids to suit the specific hearing profiles of an individual; these can be discrete, easy to use and adaptable. The new smart digital hearing aids feel less like a crutch and more like an accessory. In fact, it is difficult to distinguish between hearing aids and the earbuds that so many people have in their ears.
Caring for Aging Parents
Adult daughters and sons call every day, anxious to know how to best plan for their parent’s care. We suggest families talk early and often about future care preferences and desires. Understanding their health conditions and potential risks as they age will help you select the best options in light of care needs. As well, there is a financial cost to care so make sure there is a realistic plan in place. Just as important, don’t overlook having a plan for you as you look after your loved ones. Reach out to family, friends, or professionals for help and support.
Warmth to Soothe your Nervous System
This is the season of hibernation, time to rest and restore, as nature teaches us. It’s a time to tend to our nervous systems and engage in activities that support our overall health.

We encourage you to prioritize your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being during this winter hibernation season and remember to listen to your body!

Nervous About Seeing the Dentist?
Some people get a bit nervous about the idea of going to the dentist. As a result of progress in diagnosis and treatment, the process has become much more comfortable. Tell your dentist and the dental staff if you’re feeling tense or anxious. They will understand and will adapt the treatment to your needs. Choose a time for your dental visit when you’re less likely to be rushed or under pressure. If the sound of the drill bothers you, listen to your favorite music on your phone. You can also relax by simply visualizing yourself somewhere you feel relaxed.
