Hearing Loss Can Be a Royal Pain, Just Ask the Queen

  • In the News

Does your practice pride itself on giving patients the royal treatment?

You may be pleased to learn that the Queen has opted to wear hearing aids to address her hearing loss.

These two reference articles below (Thompson, 2020; Jourdan, 2020) discuss the Queen’s new devices including how the devices work and the health benefits of wearing a hearing aid. These interest pieces may be helpful for patients who have not yet committed to pursuing hearing aids, as hearing loss does not discriminate between classes and can occur even among royalty.

Jourdan T. (2020) Why wearing a hearing aid like the Queen could cut the risk of developing dementia by increasing social interaction. The Daily Mail.

Who’s Afraid of Snakes?

Research shows that approximately half of the population feel “anxious” about snakes, and a whopping three percent of the population meet the diagnostic criteria for snake phobia (Polak et al., 2016).
