Hearing Muscles Need Exercise Too

April 14, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Time and again we’ve heard about the importance of exercise, and yet most of us are not very good at keeping it. We keep putting it off. We don’t want to do it.

April 6, 2011 by Leave a Comment

We hear in our brain that is why when doing hearing exercise it means constantly stimulating the brain.

What are the risks of not correcting a hearing loss

April 4, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Any organ in the body becomes weak when it is not being used.  Since we now know that hearing is housed inside our brain, it stands to reason that depriving that part of the brain from auditory stimulation is not healthy for it.   We must stimulate our part of the brain that does our hearing for us, and keep it active and processing sound all the time so it never sits unused.  However, when you have a hearing loss, this is essentially what you are letting happen.   A muscle Read more [...]
