Thank you.....Good info. I'll look into it. Tinnitus is IMHO the bigger issue. Dementia is the farthest of any concern. I'm somewhat older than you.....I might add that dementia is preventable and not genetic in the sense that the genes carry it. It is a result of a combination of environmental factors like a poor and toxic diet and pharmaceutical adverse reactions to the toxins there. I once read Wisconsin had some of the highest dementia rates..... It's interesting that aluminum is linked to dementia.... And back in the 70s and 80s all the beer companies were using aluminum cans.... Wisconsin loves there beer.... Today there is a near complete return to aluminum cans.... Coincidence? Each individual varies to the effects of accumulating toxins. The health effect is shown to be a Bell curve with some people succumbing to the effects of toxins more readily than others. It's more akin to the canary in the coal mine analogy..... My dad is as sharp as a tack and is 96 years old. Concerning my "loss" of hearing, I do have a very effective propagandist in the house, my wife claims I only hear what I want to hear.🤫🤫😉😁😁.
We are both on regular doses of Ivermectin. Parasites are truly underrated as a source for a lot of issues; and Ivermectin has helped us avoid many colds; but hearing loss can be associated with a great many other things. Firearms, loud machines, music, genetics, strokes, and other things
But loss of hearing means less interactions with others. You interact less, and become isolated. Silence becomes your world and mental stimulation ceases. Hearing aides break the chain of events. They may not keep you alive longer; but the quality of life is improved
We’ll aware. I had issues and I thought I would be the next Beethoven. It was scary when it started and I figured it was permanent. I had some infection behind the ear drum it seems. Related to mold exposure and candida/ parasites. I do audio and I’m aware of the process for hearing loss, I wear WESTON noise reduction plugs daily.
I’m just putting information out there for other passer-bys. Also lions mane mushrooms, I’ve heard folks helped to heal neurons and nerves with lions mane and psylocibin
Understand. When you have the audio bug, listening to great recordings and appreciating the genius of music is something you never can get enough of.
I used to be able to hear the subtle differences between woods in violins and classical guitars. Sadly that’s gone now. I hear the scales, but they all sound the same now. Above 8kHz is gone. The tinnitus is constan, and the hearing aides have helped reduce its apparent level, but even with foam plugs it’s a constant companion. It doesn’t mask voices like it used to. So I will call that a win
Thank you. I had a very similar motivation. My wife often got quite upset and felt I was purposely ignoring her. So we both went to an ENT. Her hearing is better than average, I have slight to moderate loss in both. Mimi confirmed everything over months
I opted for the top end Opticon, insurance paid the first $2,500 and I paid ~$2,750. Why? My belief is sound is important as sight. High end are Bluetooth so phone calls go right to the hearing aides. Convenient. But most hearing aids have a bunch of modes. These have 2. So in the front seat of a car, they adjust so I can hear everything in front or behind, crowded restaurants, auto adjust. Concerts, windy days on the lake, they automatically adjust and it’s like taking the clock back 40 years. They “learn” how your ear canal and ear drums respond and adjust. Plus, as time goes by, your hearing likely will get worse. Because you started higher end, they have more adjustments to work with. You benefit longer
I work R&D in space propulsion. So I am around rockets and they are very loud. Keeping my mind sharp is a key part of my job. These help. Best of luck and God bless

Deworm.
Heavy metal detox. The aluminum will go along with dementia
