National Men's Health Week

This week - today through Father's Day - is National Men's Health Week.

Hearing? You think.  Health Week and hearing?

Absolutely.

We've told you before, but we'll tell you again. Untreated hearing loss can wreck havoc on numerous aspects of our life. Hearing well is part of our overall health.

Did you know:

• people with untreated hearing loss suffer far more from depression and feelings of social isolation than people with normal hearing or treated hearing loss?
• people with untreated hearing loss earn less money when compared to their peers who choose to wear hearing aids?
• people with untreated hearing loss are much more likely to have memory problems and are at greater risk for different forms of dementia?  There have even been recent studies linking untreated hearing loss to Alzheimer's.
• older adults with hearing loss are more likely to suffer from hypertension, heart disease and stroke?

“Recognizing and preventing men’s health problems is not just a man’s issue. Because of its impact on wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters, men’s health is truly a family issue.” Congressman Bill Richardson

If you've never had your hearing checked or at all question your ability to hear, please give us a call. We have three locations to serve the men (and women!) of the greater Toledo area.
