Dr. Cliff Show LIVE! S2E5 | All About Cochlear Implants

Large ears can be a source of misery growing up. That’s why many folks turn to otoplasty surgery to help them feel better about their appearance.

Hearing aids were first manufactured with the intent of helping our brothers who are either deaf or hard of hearing but currently they are complaining of the high cost of these hearing aids prices and their complaints are not being heard and the immediate problem they normally face is that hearing aids are not usually covered by the regular health insurance plans while cochlear implants are. Even Medicare, the government’s own health insurance provider does not include hearing aids on their many benefits, even including a statement on non-coverage of routine hearing exams and hearing aids.

Many people may have experienced tinnitus at some point in their lives. It may last for a very short time or for many weeks or months. While tinnitus itself is not life threatening, it can interfere with hearing and make it difficult to concentrate during the day or sleep at night. Many tinnitus sufferers become markedly depressed because of the constant and annoying noise.

Tinnitus often known as “ringing in the ears” is a condition in which there is a sense of sound within the ear without the presence of any external sound. The ringing can be constant or intermittent and of different intensity, and could well make you lose your sanity.

Ringing in the ears. Buzzing. Humming. Swishing sounds that seem to come from your head. Crickets chirping in your ear. This is Tinnitus. I’ve had it. And if you do too, I’m going to explain how you can get relief.
