When stressed by loud sounds, the hair cells in your ears undergo metabolic changes that can make them more vulnerable to free radicals, according to Jackie Clark, a professor at the University of Texas at Dallas. Fortunately, studies show that some nutrients can help protect these hair cells.

The dog is likely to chew on them to make the noise stop. Another reason dogs like to chew on hearing devices could be because they are attracted to your skin oil on the instruments.
To prevent this, whenever you remove your hearing aids, place them in the case with the battery door open and put them in a safe place. :) Do you know your hearing aids need to be cleaned and checked every 3-4 months to make sure they are in tip-top shape? For our clients who are under our TLC plans, please come by and see our audiologist assistant, during two convenient walk-in times from Mon - Thurs, 11 - noon and 2 - 3 for the services. We are looking forward to seeing you. :)
Hearing aids appear to improve balance in older adults with hearing loss. According to a study by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, researchers found that patients with hearing aids in both ears performed better on standard balance tests when their hearing aids were turned on, as compared with when they were off. This study demonstrated that sound information, separate from the balance system of the inner ears, contributes to maintaining the body’s stability. This lends support to the idea that improving hearing through hearing aids may help reduce the risk of falls in older people.
