Preserve Health

Exposure to loud noises can result in hearing loss. Free radicals form when people are exposed to loud noises for extended periods of time. Luckily, there are some ways to prevent hearing loss that results from external stressors. Here are a few prevention tips that will help to preserve hearing health:
Schedule Regular Hearing Exams
Physicians can often
catch problems before they develop into full-blown hearing loss. A regular exam
will allow physicians to make recommendations to patients
about how to improve hearing health. This may
include avoiding stressors, taking breaks from noise and taking supplements to
fight free radicals.
Take Supplements
Take Supplements
Vitamin D, manganese,
vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E all help prevent hearing
loss. Internal prevention is the first stage of defense in the fight against
hearing loss. Poor health conditions such as diabetes will increase chances of
developing hearing loss. A balanced and healthy diet complete with these
vitamins will decrease hearing loss in most people.
Wear Protective Earplugs
Wear Protective Earplugs
Protective earplugs
can help people prevent hearing loss. Protective ear-wear should be worn at
work in a factory, on a construction site, at a concert, mowing the lawn, in a
salon or in other environments with prolonged exposure to high–decibel,
noise-producing devices.
Avoid Loud Noise
Avoid Loud Noise
Contact the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to learn about the safe
decibel levels in every work environment. If your work environment exceeds
these levels, contact the appropriate person to rectify the situation.
Control the Volume
Control the Volume
Harmful noise levels
can affect hearing. Turn the music down on the radio, television and other
devices to prevent premature hearing loss.
Stop Smoking
Stop Smoking
People who smoke are
more likely to suffer hearing loss. Quit smoking with smoking-cessation devices
or patches and improve chances of maintaining hearing.
Remove Earwax with Drops
Remove Earwax with Drops
One safe way to
remove earwax is to soften ear wax with baby oil. The baby oil can be dispensed
into the ear with an eye dropper. Repeat the process for six days, and on the
sixth day, switch to water. Tilt the head to the side, and the ear wax should
be removed with the water. After the water process is complete, follow the
process with alcohol. This should completely remove all earwax and leave the
ears refreshed.
Blow the Nose Gently
Blow the Nose Gently
Blowing the nose too
hard could affect the ability to hear. Blowing the nose gently will not cause
additional stress on the ears that may result in problems.
Protect Your Ears. Protect Your Health
Loss of hearing can result in depression and dementia. This is frustrating and may affect a person’s overall quality of life. Instead of taking a risk of hearing loss, take precautions, avoid wearing hearing aids and preserve your hearing.

I have to be careful on what I drink. Caffeinated drinks and milk give me acid reflux, and water gets boring. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on some good Day Spa Deals.

Become aware of noise. There’s noise all over the place – at work, at home and at leisure. If you want to know more about noise at work, then you must check the OSHA website here. However, the point is that most of us are not aware about noise sources. Noise has become part of our life and we have ceased to care about it. Music systems, TV, kitchen noise, crowds, concerts, iPods, occupational-related noise, and more, keep impacting us adversely, and therefore we must become very conscious of where noise is coming from. This is the first step towards preventing hearing loss. cool ageexperts website
