Nola Aronson, a Santa Clarita audiologist from Advanced Audiology, is discussing the connection between a person’s hearing and their overall quality of life. “Hearing loss impacts all aspects of our life,” Aronson said. “It impacts our emotional wellbeing and our physical health and our careers and our leisure activities, and yet millions of people who have hearing loss let it go untreated.” Aronson continued that being able to hear properly enables people to connect with others without struggling to understand them or feeling embarrassed that they can’t hear what’s being said.

In a landmark judgement the Court of Appeal have unanimously agreed the Royal Opera House (ROH) Covent Garden failed to take reasonable steps to prevent injury to viola player Christopher Goldscheider during a 2012 rehearsal of the Wagner opera, Die Walkure. As a result of his injury Mr Goldscheider suffered acoustic shock and was left unable to work as a musician. On 1 September 2012 Mr Goldscheider was seated at the 5th desk of the viola section, directly in front of an 18 piece brass section. Noise levels at points during the rehearsal reached decibel levels roughly equivalent to that of a jet engine. The ROH argued they had taken all reasonably practicable steps to reduce the risk of noise exposure, pointing to the fact that: the risks posed to orchestral players by noise exposure had been carefully considered; a variety of hearing protection had been provided; and training and instruction had been provided to players. However the Court found there were a number of further...

News 30 percent more people have some form of hearing loss than 20 years ago. Tuesday, April 30th 2019, 1:10 AM EDT by Nestor Montoya SOUTHWEST FLORIDA - Millions of Americans wear them every single day, but experts said incorrect and excessive headphone use could cause permanent damage to your ears. "There’s no fixing it. Once those nerves in the inner ear are damaged, there’s not, as of yet, any way to rejuvenate them," Jack Adams of Audiology Consultants of Southwest Florida said. Adams said the damage done to an ear's nerve fibers depends on the decibel levels and the time you're exposed to the noise. Sound levels created by city traffic, an alarm clock, or garbage disposal are measured in the 80-85 decibel range . Experts said the average person could be exposed to those noises for eight hours before permanent damage begins. "It halves the amount of time for every five decibels in intensity. At...

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said he takes “responsibility” that Anita Hill was treated unfairly when she appeared before his Senate panel’s confirmation hearing for then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. “I believed her from the very beginning, but I was chairman. She did not get a fair hearing. She did not get treated well. That’s my responsibility,” Biden told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview that will air Tuesday. “As the committee chairman, I take responsibility that she did not get treated well. I take responsibility for that.” “I apologized for it,” said Biden in the interview that was taped before his campaign rally in Pittsburgh on Monday. “I apologize again because, look, here’s the deal. She just did not get treated fair across the board. The system did not work,” the former vice president said. Biden’s acknowledgment of Hill’s treatment before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991 when she alleged Thomas sexually harassed her went a st...

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. , criticized House Democrats Monday while appearing on “ The Story with Martha MacCallum ” calling requests to the Trump administration and Attorney General William Barr “political revenge.” “What the House is doing way over the top," Graham said. "Mueller is the final word on this. I fought like hell to make sure Mueller could do his job without interference. I introduced legislation so he couldn't be fired without cause. And I told everybody in the country that if the president did collude with the Russians that would be horrible and terrible and I don't believe he did and Mueller said he didn't." BARR SPARS WITH NADLER, THREATENS TO SKIP TESTIMONY AFTER DISPUTE OVER HEARING FORMAT “This is over. This is political revenge.” Barr is slated to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday to testify on the process behind the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, but it is unclear at this point if he w...

CLOSE President Trump...on the attack on Fox News...going after the Mueller report calling it a coup. Veuer's Nick Cardona has that story. Buzz60 WASHINGTON – Attorney General William Barr warned a House committee that he could refuse to appear at Thursday's hearing on the Justice Department's handling of the Russia investigation if lawmakers go through with a plan to let staff lawyers question him.  Barr's threat is an escalation in the tension between House leaders and the Trump administration, which vowed to resist Democratic efforts to probe more deeply into President Donald Trump's conduct in office and his outside business dealings. Barr is scheduled to make two appearances before Congress this week to answer questions about the special counsel investigation. The first, on Wednesday, is before the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who leads an effort to seek a co...

Video Player Close By Khin Zar Thwe YANGON, April 30 (Xinhua) -- A man in white uniform is preparing desserts amid the noises in a busy kitchen of a well-known hotel in Myanmar's largest city of Yangon. Myo Naing, 26-year-old hearing-impaired person, is currently working as Commis II at the pastry kitchen of Novotel Yangon Max, listed in Myanmar's finest hotels. Being immune to the sounds and voices seems not to be a barrier to his passion of creating sweet and savory desserts, but strengthens his attention and concentration on pastries. "My parents found out my impairment when I suffered from a serious illness at the age of 7," Myo Naing told Xinhua, with the help of a sign language interpreter. "Through my parent's connection, I was sent to the Mary Chapman School for the Deaf. At first when I arrived at the school, it was tough to adapt to the new environment, especially in learning sign language which was very new to me. It took at least three m...

Diane Zheng, MS, PhD-C On Tuesday, investigators at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology presented the results of a study that details the association between chronic diseases and visual impairment. Researchers from the University of Miami found that, after analyses accounting for variable factors, a pattern of chronic conditions is associated with a greater likelihood of reporting visual impairment. “Visual impairment is strongly associated with patterns of chronic conditions. The sicker the population, the more likely for them to report visual impairment,” said Diane Zheng, MS, PhD-C, lead author from the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, during her presentation on Monday morning. Investigators sought to identify and describe between chronic conditions and their relationship with visual impairments. Investigators utilized the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from 2002 through 2014 to identify a cohort ...

US actress Felicity Huffman is expected to plead guilty on May 13 to charges that she took part in a sweeping college admissions cheating scam. The Desperate Housewives star had been scheduled to enter her plea in Boston federal court on May 21, but a judge on Monday agreed to move up the hearing because the lead prosecutor would be out of town. Huffman (56) was accused of paying a consultant $US15,000 ($NZ22,000) disguised as a charitable donation to boost her daughter's SAT  (suite of assessments) score. The SAT is a standardised test widely used for college admissions in the US. Huffman will plead guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest-services mail fraud, according to court documents. Those charges are punishable by up to 20 years in prison, but the plea agreement indicates prosecutors will seek a sentence of four to 10 months. Also on Monday, lawyers formally entered not guilty pleas in court on behalf of Full House actress Lori Loughlin, her husband, Mos...

New Zealanders spend nearly $1.4 million on methamphetamine every day, according to police analysis of three months of drug testing of wastewater. Described by scientists as "one large urine test", the wastewater testing started with three sites in 2016 - Whangarei, Auckland's North Shore and Christchurch - but was rolled out nationwide last November. The ESR testing at 38 sites now captures 80 per cent of the population and officials hope it will paint a clearer picture of New Zealand's drug habits. The drugs that have been tested for are methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, MDMA and fentanyl. An average of 16kg of methamphetamine has been consumed each week in November, December and January according to the preliminary results released today. This costs the country an estimated $20 million each week in social harm - or $1 billion a year - said Police Commissioner Mike Bush. "These early results give us an idea of the potential for this type of data and, as t...

Nola Aronson, a Santa Clarita audiologist, is talking about the cost of hearing aids and the options available at Advanced Audiology for those concerned about price. Aronson noted that while the newest and therefore most expensive hearing devices typically provide the best quality of sound, going back to slightly older models can be an option to cut costs. “Unless you’re very, very active and still working and still going to all these groups and everything, the hearing aids that were (from) a year ago are still really good,” she said. Related:  Santa Clarita Audiologist Debunks Myth That People Can Be ‘Too Young’ For Hearing Devices Because newer models have come out, Aronson added that she sometimes may even be able to offer special deals on older models. “I may be able to make a deal with the manufacturers so I can provide really good service for hearing to our seniors and to people that don’t have the money,” said Aronson.

that we've set up this clinic.” The Audiology Industry: An Overview In order to arrive at a conclusion, one must first make an overall analysis of the industry. As far as the audiology industry is concerned, there is a veil of complications involved. Dr. Vikrant states, “The current scenario is a bit tricky. On one side you have a huge opportunity with a lot of patients requiring the services. While on the other hand, because patients have very few options to choose from, sometimes they are misleading because there is a lot of demand but suppliers are few. There is a possibility that the patient can get a bit mishandled. Where we try to stand out is despite knowing that there is huge potential, we are not after huge numbers. It's not churning like a factory and we want it to grow like that.” In terms of speech, when one talks of audiology clinics, most of them will only get hearing aids and nothing else because that's where the revenue comes in. The revenue is obviously i...
