October is National Protect Your Hearing Month, a perfect time to recognize signs of hearing loss. Keep an eye out for these warning signs: frequently asking others to repeat themselves, needing to turn up the TV or radio volume, or experiencing persistent ringing in your ears. Difficulty understanding conversations in noisy environments, missing everyday sounds, or having trouble hearing when your back is turned to someone are also key indicators. Speaking too loudly or finding phone conversations challenging may also signal hearing issues. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes, so prioritize your hearing health this month and schedule a free assessment with your local Beltone clinic.

Transform Your Thoughts for Better Health
Masaru Emoto’s groundbreaking research suggests that human consciousness can affect the molecular structure of water. Since our bodies are 70% water and our brains are 80% water, the thoughts we have directly influence our well-being. Negative thoughts like “I’m not good enough” distort water molecules, while positive thoughts like “I am loved” create harmonious, symmetrical structures. Past negative beliefs often keep us stuck in harmful thought patterns. A Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.) treatment helps to update those outdated programs, allowing you to shift toward more positive thinking and improved health.

Foot Care for Seniors
It’s important for seniors to keep their feet in good condition so they can remain mobile. There are several things you can do to keep your feet feeling their best. Ensure that you wear good quality running shoes or shoes that are specifically designed for walking. Have your foot care professional treat your corns, callouses, and ingrown nails, as well as evaluate your foot mechanics for any structural imbalances. Gentle exercises and stretching of your feet and legs can reduce tightness, improve mobility and flexibility, and increase circulation. Finally, get involved in a walking program to keep you moving!
Words to Live By
Take a moment to close your eyes and breathe. Focus on one thing in your life that you are grateful for and let that feeling of gratitude expand to every corner of your consciousness. Keith Macpherson
Talking About Hearing Loss
Onset hearing loss is usually gradual, so it can take a long time for people with hearing impairment to realize there is a problem. While starting a conversation with a loved one experiencing hearing loss may be difficult, it’s a key step towards a solution. Strategies for having productive conversations include: *Aim to have serious discussions early in the day, before navigating daily activities. *Ask helpful questions to create an open dialogue and make everyday communication easier. For examples: “Should we have this conversation in a quieter location?” *Focus on facts and specific symptoms and encourage them to get a professional evaluation.
