If the fit is uncomfortable, you are less likely to wear your hearing aids with your eyewear. This is of concern for both those who are prescribed glasses before and after they experience hearing loss.
One of the signs that you may have mild hearing loss is that you increasingly hear words incorrectly. For example, if you heard someone say, “I just got a new hat” while showing you a photo of a cat on their phone, you immediately realize that they said “cat” not “hat”.
Your hearing may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you feel mentally drained, but struggling to hear contributes to decision fatigue. Processing sound waves into discernable language and sounds is something your brain does on autopilot.
Minimizing exposure to your triggers is the most effective way to manage chronic tinnitus. This may leave you wondering if what you eat can decrease or increase your symptoms.
Managing tinnitus is an all-day effort, but it can drastically decrease productivity when you are at work. Tinnitus sufferers face unique challenges in the workplace, including heightened anxiety and difficulty focusing due to the constant ringing in their ears.
Whether you are planning for a summer vacation or year-round swimming, you may be exploring your options in waterproof earplugs.
