How Do Hearing Aids Help?

Most people with hearing loss can be helped by daily use of properly chosen and properly fitted hearing aids. Current hearing aid technology is very sophisticated and effective. A trial period of several weeks with hearing aids allows you to experience amplification. Your hearing care professional will coach and explain the process as you go. If you suspect hearing loss, reach out to your local Hearing Care Professional for help with your hearing and have your hearing tested. We recommend that all adults over fifty years of age should have a baseline hearing test. Call for a complimentary hearing test and consultation.

Community Profile: Paul Manley, MP

Lack of trust in elected representatives contributes to anxiety, anger, and political apathy. Paul Manly is committed to changing that. As the MP for Nanaimo-Ladysmith, he set a new standard for transparency, accountability and accessibility. Each week Paul was in Ottawa, he posted a report on PaulManlyMP.ca detailing his meetings, what he spoke about in the House of Commons and how he voted on important legislation. Back home, he hosted ten non-partisan community meetings across our riding, where he reported to constituents about his work, and opened the floor for questions, issues, and concerns. Paul will continue these practices regularly for as long as he is our MP.

Serrapeptase – The Little Miracle Enzyme!

Proven to be a safe and effective natural alternative to NSAIDs (drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen), Serrapeptase breaks down long protein chains into amino acids that the body needs. It helps to reduce pain and swelling associated with osteoarthritis, joint pain, carpel tunnel syndrome, and post-operative swelling. It even thins out mucous which in turn eases chronic sinusitis. Serrapeptase should be in a delayed release or enteric-coated capsule taken on an empty stomach. This allows the Serrapeptase to pass through the stomach to the small intestine, where the enzyme is then released.
