How Hearing Disorders Pose Serious Health Risks

Communication disorders can affect people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. And according to the Center for Hearing and Communication and the World Health Organization, hearing loss affects nearly 48 million Americans and more than 1.5 billion people globally. Unfortunately, too many people ignore their symptoms or deny treatment, potentially turning an easily addressed issue into a serious problem.

FPG Audiologist Sharon Rende, AuD, ABAC shares insight on the importance of treating hearing loss.

Preventing Osteoporosis Through Diet and Exercise

Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease in the world, affecting an estimated 200 million women across the globe. One in three women over 50 have it, and one in five men. In the US, approximately 10 million people are living with osteoporosis and the disease is responsible for an estimated 2 million bone breaks each year.

However, osteoporosis is also treatable, and proper diet and exercise can keep the worst of it at bay. And the sooner you start taking care of your bones, the healthier you’ll be in the long run.

We got some tips from First Physicians Group Endocrinologist Dr. Angela Boldo.
