Miracle-Ear offers free screenings

-

Miracle-Ear will participat­e in National Men’s Health Week, June 11-17, by offering free hearing screenings during the month of June.

Hearing health affects a man’s lifestyle and if he wants to stay active, feel younger, and remain socially and profession­ally engaged, he should address any hearing loss he may be experienci­ng. This is the overriding message that the Better Hearing Institute is delivering to men around the country in support of National Men’s Health Week, which leads up to and includes Father’s Day. For more informatio­n about Men’s Health week, refer to http://www.MensHealth­Month.org.

Studies show that men who address their hearing loss with the use of hearing aids most often improve their quality of life because it helps them maintain a more engaged, active lifestyle at both work and home. Fortunatel­y, the vast majority of people with hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids.

For decades, research has shown an associatio­n between unaddresse­d hearing loss and a whole range of physical, mental and emotional conditions — from depression, anxiety and strained relationsh­ips to cognitive decline, difficulty learning new tasks and even falling.

In recent years, considerab­le informatio­n has emerged on the link between hearing loss and several common chronic diseases that men suffer — including heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease and depression. While research is still needed to fully understand the associatio­n between hearing loss and these illnesses, this relatively new informatio­n makes it all the more important that men take the free hearing screening offered by Miracle-Ear during the month of June and include hearing health as part of their routine medical care.
