There are three types of hearing loss: Conductive, Sensorineural, and Mixed. Conductive hearing loss is a reduced conduction of sound from the outer ear to the bones of the middle ear. Common causes include outer ear infections, excessive wax buildup and damage from foreign bodies such as cotton swabs. Sensorineural hearing loss is damage to the inner ear or nerve pathways from the inner ear to the auditory centers. Middle ear infections, a perforated ear drum and Otosclerosis are common causes of sensorineural hearing loss. The best way to diagnose your hearing loss is to work with a hearing care professional.

It takes time to get used to wearing a new hearing aid. This includes getting used to the sensation of the device in your ear, the new sense of hearing and the background noise. The brain needs practice to re-learn how to selectively focus on and filter sounds. It’s important to be patient during this process and not to get discouraged. Wear the hearing aid as much as possible to determine what hearing aid settings are the best and what adjustments may be required. Your hearing care professional will help you find the perfect device and settings for you.

The foundation of holistic health is based on Soul – Mind – Body. *Soul: our intuitive ability and our drive for meaning and purpose, connection, competency, autonomy, security, and creativity. *Mind: Rational thought AND Emotions. Emotions rely information when we learn to understand them. *Body: Physical Form. How these three interact is what determines our health. Treating only the body will not lead to healing if the illness is a manifestation of suppressed emotions or thwarted spirit. Essential Oils have been used for spiritual work as long as there has been spiritual work. Holistic health comes with holistic tools.
