Book Synopsis

Discover what's really happening inside your ears--and what you can do about it to stay connected, active and sharp.

Hearing and balance problems can disrupt every aspect of daily living. Left untreated, hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, chronic migraines and ear infections can lead to isolation, injury, and a diminished quality of life. And what's more, experts now know that cognitive decline is strongly connected to even mild hearing loss -- but is largely preventable when you take steps to protect and restore hearing. Mayo Clinic on Hearing and Balance gives you the tools to fight back.

Inside, you'll learn:

• Why hearing loss and balance disorders occur--and how to prevent them
• Proven strategies to protect your hearing health and improve stability
• What recent research says about hearing and cognition
• The latest headphones types and technology, so you can enjoy listening (safely) to what you love
• How to choose the right hearing aids or cochlear implants, and whether smart earbuds may be enough
• How Bluetooth assistive devices at home can help you maintain independence
• Treatment options for underlying causes like BPPV, tinnitus and more
• Simple exercises and lifestyle tips to reduce dizziness and regain confidence

Packed with expert insights, real-life solutions and actionable advice, this book empowers you to take charge of your well-being. Whether you're coping with hearing or balance problems yourself or in a child or an adult loved one, with mild symptoms or severe impairment, you'll find answers to your most pressing questions and a clear path forward.

Don't let hearing and balance issues hold you back. With the right knowledge and tools, you can protect your hearing and your health to live life to the fullest.
