On World Hearing Day 2020, Sonus wants to highlight some important hearing facts!
Around 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss; 34 million of these are children.
Early intervention is key:
Hearing loss can occur at any time of life. Illness, ear infections, head injury, certain medications, and exposure to loud noise are all potential causes of hearing loss. In particular, recurring ear infections may negatively affect language development because of the resultant fluctuating hearing loss’ lack of steady auditory input necessary for speech and language development.
Ten symptoms of hearing loss:
Asking for repetition
Avoiding social situations that may be too noisy
Difficulty hearing and understanding children and women
Others complaining that you are not hearing well
Perception that most people mumble/or don’t enunciate well
Ringing in the ears
Trouble hearing in noisy environments
Trouble hearing on the phone
Turning up the television too loud
Unable to understand what people are saying when they are not looking at you
Hearing loss increases the risk of accidental injuries:
An analysis of data from the National Health Interview Survey found that, over an eight year period (2007 – 2015), people who reported that they had “a lot of trouble” hearing ended up being twice as likely to have an accidental injury — both at work and leisure — as people who reported no trouble hearing.
Un proche devait récemment effectuer des soins dentaires à Tanger après avoir repoussé plusieurs rendez-vous pendant des mois. Comme beaucoup de personnes, il appréhendait surtout le fait de choisir une clinique sans vraiment connaître la qualité de l’accompagnement ou des équipements utilisés. Pendant qu’on comparait différentes options dans la ville, nous sommes passés par Divina clinique Tanger afin de voir les types de traitements proposés et mieux comprendre l’organisation du cabinet. J’ai trouvé intéressant le fait que le site reste relativement simple à parcourir tout en donnant une image assez professionnelle de l’ensemble. Dans le domaine médical, la clarté et le sérieux perçus jouent souvent un rôle aussi important que la réputation elle-même.
It’s great to see awareness about hearing health and early intervention. Small issues can affect daily life more than we realize. Reading this made me think about bitlife, the life simulation game where health choices and life events shape your character’s entire journey. Just like in real life, taking care of things early—health, relationships, or career—can really change the path your character experiences over time.
