your diet can have an effect on your tinnitus? 🤔

Tinnitus is a condition often experienced in tandem with hearing loss, described as a constant ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound heard within the ear. 👂

Many people with tinnitus report that certain dietary habits can trigger or worsen their tinnitus. ⚠

These include caffeine, alcohol, high doses of aspirin, and excessive salt in their diet.

Dietary changes are only one of the many ways to help lessen the effects of tinnitus.

Remember, if you experience tinnitus, you are not alone; we are here to help. 👂💖

Have you ever wondered about the history of the huddle?

It may be surprising to learn its origins are linked to the hard-of-hearing community. 🦻

It is Paul D. Hubbard, a quarterback for Gallaudet University, a private university for the deaf and hard of hearing in Washington, D.C., who is credited with its creation in the 1890s.

As the Gallaudet football team communicated their plays through ASL (American Sign Language) and played against other deaf and hard-of-hearing schools, it was thought their opponents were watching for their play calls.

Hubbard called his team to huddle around him to essentially shield his signs from their opponents, thus leading to the creation of the now widely used huddle. 🙌

On , we want to continue to spread awareness of the importance of hearing assessments as a component of cancer survivorship care following chemotherapy. 👂💖

A study published in BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care on cancer survivors who had been treated with platinum- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy showed the following results:

Among 273 survivors of breast, gastrointestinal, gynecological, or lung cancer, the rate of audiogram-confirmed hearing loss ranged from 52.3% to 71.4%. The rate of tinnitus among survivors ranged from 37.1% to 40.0%.

When discussing these results, Christine Miaskowski, Ph.D., RN, said, “The good news is that the type of hearing loss these patients experience is amenable to a hearing aid. If we can get people tested, and they demonstrate this kind of hearing loss, we can improve their quality of life.”

We couldn’t agree more. If you or a loved one is experiencing signs of hearing loss, don’t delay treatment.
