Hearing Loss? Seek Help Now!

Sudden Hearing Loss (SHL) is a condition where hearing loss occurs suddenly or within a few days, often affecting only one ear. Annually, about one in 5,000 adults experience SHL, though the actual number may be higher due to unreported cases. Known medically as sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), this condition is often idiopathic, meaning its cause is usually unknown. SHL is a medical emergency. If you or a loved one experiences sudden hearing loss, seek medical attention immediately. Early treatment improves the chances of recovery. Don’t delay; consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and timely intervention.

Empower Independence with Valuable Supports

As we celebrate self-care this month, consider the value of in-home care when individuals are no longer able to manage aging conditions and family caregivers realize the need for extra support. Personalized care provides one-on-one attention, ensures dignity, and fosters independence. In-home care allows individuals to remain in familiar surroundings, improving mental well-being and reducing stress. Investing in long term care at home isn’t just about addressing immediate needs, it is a commitment to honoring a loved one’s autonomy and quality of life for the long term. This month, make care for yourself and care for your family member a priority.

What is Your Mouth Telling You?

The state of your mouth can offer valuable insights into your dental, oral and overall health. Here are some things to watch for: 1) Bleeding when you brush your gums could be a sign of gum disease. 2) Sugar sensitivity usually indicates a cavity, but cold sensitivity might just indicate that a change of toothpaste is needed. Heat sensitivity could be more serious. 3) Bad breath can be caused by poor oral hygiene, but sometimes by a throat infection. A good electric toothbrush, flossing and scraping your tongue all help, and be sure to see your dentist regularly!
