Did you know hearing health relates to your entire well-being? Protecting you from depression, Alzheimer's, and Dementia?
Did you know ADHD could be a result of chronic ear infections creating an auditory processing disorder?
What about how to treat tinnitus, motion sickness, vertigo, and vestibular migraines?
All of these relate to your inner ear and brain health and Dr. April Waller is the audiologist of audiologists! She wants to share her knowledge so that you can live your whole life without any setbacks.
- and many people don't think that hearing is their issue - when sometimes we don't notice these subtle changes and it can be too late if we don't get it checked early!
We talk about how to get checked for an auditory processing disorder if diagnosed with ADHD with a history of chronic ear infections!
Why you need a full vestibular work-up if you're experiencing motion sickness, balance issues, dizziness, vestibular migraines, vertigo, and feeling like swaying or the room spinning!
We talk about Dichotic Listening -
- The process of receiving different auditory messages presented simultaneously to EACH ear. This can be words or tones. Two streams of sound, each localized at the ear to which it is presented, and are able to focus on the message from one ear while ignoring the message from the other ear.
Going to an audiologist is not just for the elderly! And it's not just about hearing aids as you'll find out in this podcast episode.
