Baby Boomer Hearing Loss Is Costing Millions
Cornelius, NC (ContentDesk) February 22, 2006 -- While hearing loss has historically been associated with age, increasingly people in their 40s and 50s are bewildered and devastated by this condition. According to Randy Wohlers, President of HearPod Inc., specializing in the correction of baby boomer hearing loss, Baby boomers are the first generation to be exposed to electronically amplified sound. Today, we know that prolonged exposure to loudly amplified music over 85 db can cause permanent hearing loss. Many cases of hearing loss among baby boomers can be traced to their youth when they listened to rock bands or played in them. Additionally, baby boomers are the first generation to experience prolonged exposure to loud sounds from electric blenders, lawn care equipment, power tools, recreational vehicles, jet airplanes and even electric tooth brushes.
Baby boomers usually experience hearing loss as a thief sneaking up from behind, robbing them of their earning potential and life's pleasures.
Income squandered by working people with uncorrected hearing loss ranges from $1,000 a year (for those with mild hearing loss) to $12,000 a year (for those with profound hearing loss). Business people lose large sums of money due to verbal misunderstandings. Hearing loss diminishes their ability to enjoy conversations with friends and family, resulting in unnecessary misunderstandings and disagreements. Over time, they can question their decision-making ability, leading to a loss of self-confidence and erosion of their sense of well-being."Designed by baby boomers for baby boomers, HearPod digital hearing aids are the culmination of 20 years of research on baby boomer hearing loss treatment and precision hearing.

When to Use Walking Aids
There are many factors that contribute to the possession and use of walking aids. From childhood, almost all of us have been in a situation wherein we have needed and relied on walking aids, at certain times in our lives and during certain periods of time. Several factors may be due to leg injuries and bone dislocations that resulted from accidents, sports-related injuries and even those as simple as sprains. Some people also possess and use walking aids due to acquiring diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, which primarily affect the bones. These factors became apparent when the Center for Rehabilitation and Rheumatology at Amsterdam, The Netherlands spearheaded the conduct of a medical investigation on the possession and use of walking aids among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoarthritis (OA).
