How to Manage your Hearing Loss

How to Manage your Hearing Loss

June 1, 2020 //  by Marian Mitchell//  Leave a Comment

If you’ve recently begun to experience hearing loss, or if it’s something you’ve dealt with for a long time, but are learning to manage and cope with a new device or hearing aid, it can be a little stressful. It can be hard to deal with the uncertainty of losing one of your senses, but the good news is, it can certainly be managed with a combination of proper treatment, testing, and diagnosis. 

Depending on the type and severity of your hearing loss, there may be various options available to you, including surgery, hearing aids/devices, or other courses of treatment. For some, who have severely diminished hearing that is progressive, or those who have completely lost their hearing, restoring may not be an option, but there are still other ways to manage the issue. 

Regardless of the severity and type of your hearing loss, you likely want to consult a hearing loss guide to help you navigate the issues you’re experiencing. Learning about the process of getting a hearing test, the different types of hearing loss and what can cause them, different courses of treatment, as well as the different types of hearing aids on the market are useful bits of information that will help you going forward as you make decisions on what to do about your own hearing loss. 

The first thing you should do is make an appointment at a hearing center or audiologist, who will consult with you, learn about your symptoms, answer any questions you may have and more. They’ll likely want to conduct a hearing test, which is a painless and relatively quick process, consisting of having several tones administered in different frequencies and pitches. You may also have a physical exam. These exams will help determine your diagnosis and what is causing your hearing loss. From there, the doctor will advise a course of treatment, such as a hearing aid (which come in a wide variety of sizes, styles and types), or in some rare cases, surgery. 

It is a common misconception that hearing loss only happens to elderly people. This simply isn’t true. Nor is hearing loss solely a progressive issue that happens as you get older. Hearing loss can be caused by a number of factors, including injury, sudden illness, side effects of other illnesses, damage, and even genetics. Having a detailed health history as well as writing down any illnesses or injuries you may have had, or exposure to harmful loud equipment is helpful as it will help the doctor determine the root cause of your diminished hearing and secure a diagnosis. They can also tell you from this information if your hearing loss will get worse, or if you’re dealing with an issue that will remain constant. 

In many cases, your hearing loss can be managed and in some cases, even restored. It’s worth seeing an audiologist and having a hearing test done ASAP to get your hearing issues under control.

Homemade Date Truffles are a delicious and healthy Homemade Date Truffles are a delicious and healthy snack that satisfy the sweet tooth. I actually don't make them often because I'll eat the entire batch in 2 days 🤭 They are so yummy though.

Dates have been around since around 5,000-6,000 BCE and are known as nature’s candy. Not only are they absolutely delicious, they are nutrient powerhouses. They contain protein, fatty acids and an array of vitamins and minerals. Including, but not limited to, Vitamin A, lutein, vitamin K, niacin, B6, folate, pantothenic acid (another B vitamin), choline (brain booster), calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc and phosphorus.

On top of all this, they help protect against tooth decay even being so high in natural sugars. This is because they contain elemental flourine, not the man made flouride that is in added to water or what is in flourinated toothpaste.

Ingredients 👇
Dates
Crushed almonds
Crushed cashews
Honey 
Coconut oil 
Vanilla extract 
Sea salt
Chocolate chips 
Shredded coconut or cocoa powder

7 snacks 🤤

One of the most effective ways to transform your h One of the most effective ways to transform your health, make your medication more effective, and just plain feel better is to clean up your diet.

This is often easier said than done. Changes habits is hard. It requires energy and time, which often is in short supply. However, it isn't as hard as you think. Here are my 3 steps to get started. I don't recommend doing them all at once. Start with step 1, then move on. Slow and steady wins the race.
Healthy eating gets boring fast when you don't add Healthy eating gets boring fast when you don't add flavor. How do you get flavor in a healthy way? 
◾️Herbs
◾️spices
◾️sauces
You can make the exact same protein and veggies taste at least 12 different ways depending on what you put on top.

My top favorite sauce is Chimichurri. It's a blend of parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes blended into deliciousness. I put it on top of my cooked proteins, on my veggies, and will even use as a salad dressing. It's sooooooo good.

You can get this recipe over on my website: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/traditional-chimichurri-sauce/ and enjoy this delicious sauce too!

Bitter foods stimulates the entire digestive syste Bitter foods stimulates the entire digestive system from our saliva being able to more effectively start the breakdown of carbohydrates, hydrochloric acid being pumped into our stomachs in appropriate amounts, and increases bile production.

The benefits of digestive bitters are pretty amazing and include:

◾️Higher absorption of nutrition from our foods
◾️Especially vitamins A, D, K, E and B12
◾️Reduce incidences of heartburn
◾️Increase fat digestion, which is particularly important for those who have had their gallbladders removed or are concerned about their gallbladder health
◾️Cleansing of the liver
◾️Reduction in gas, bloating, and constipation
◾️Balancing blood sugar levels
◾️Appetite regulation
◾️Promotes healthy skin

Pretty awesome right?! Deficiencies in fat soluble nutrients, gallbladder issues, sluggish liver, constipation run pretty rampant these days. It’s nice to know we have a solution that doesn’t cause other health issues.

Rare chronic disorders are not only hard to diagno Rare chronic disorders are not only hard to diagnose, but they are also difficult to treat. Histamine Intolerance looks like a lot of random symptoms that don't make much sense. Once you finally know what is going on, your ND will lay out a plan to help you reduce the histamine build-up and get you feeling normal again.

Be sure to read all the pictures and learn what you have control over. As always, if you'd like a meal plan to give you a jump start while you figure things out, I got one for you.
