Hopefully not at the table. At the table. Why . New medical Research Shows you sneeze when you are satiated. Its a new word called snatiation. Sometimes when you eat too much you have an over, overwhelming need in your nose to sneeze. It basically is a way for your nose to chill out. Thats interesting. Isnt that funny . I never heard of that. When they are satiated. They say its a way for your nose to reboot when it has a sensory overload. Sometimes when you eat too much it has a sensory overload and you have snatiation. Instead of saying god bless you you could say im glad youre full. Most popular pets were talking to haws later in the show about animal behavior and stressed out with a lot of people around. The number one pet we keep in our homes is . Rabbits. No i thought it was going to be rabbits too its dogs then cats. Cats are number two. Then fish. The most popular if you think of sheer numbers because people dont generally have just one fish they have several swimmers. Birds are fourth which surprise me. They beat out even rabbits and hamsters which are tied for 5th place. We had a parakeet growing up. You we had a parakeet, a cat and fish. The parakeet would mimic the cat meow, but the cat made the sound that sounded like one of the kids yelling. My mom wears two hearing aids, whenever the cat would meow it sounded like us yelling mom so my mom would always say what back to the cat then she would wonder what the cat wanted when the bird was chirping because it would meow. Thats fantastic. It was the funniest household that is hilarious. I love it. Sometimes you have to have a sense of humor about that hearing thing. We would die laughing when my mom would respond to the cat and say what. We were like mom its the cat. Its not us its the cat.

No. After the break this morning the first step you need to take if you want to help someone you love who has problems hearing. Also ahead you may love having people over for holidays, but your pets may get anxiety over it. How could you know the signs and welcome back everybody. Hearing loss is a problem that can effect the whole family and it can make it difficult to be at work and can create issues in relationships. Thats right most people with hearing loss even significant hearing loss wait 7 years on average before seeking help. Dr. Gwen kandula is a Board Certified doctor of audiology with advent. Common problem. Good to have you guys here. There thank you. This is great lets talk about this. This is a program you have been doing for a while the gift of hearing. I joked during the break you are like the oprah of hearing you are giving the gift of hearing. Tada. Yes you are giving me ideas here. [laughter] i know. Have you to let them hear the first time awooo. [laughter] ago as we first started our practice and were so lucky we get to see the benefits of better hearing. And we really hoped we could find a way to ship help share tt with more and more people. We know it can be a hard thing with some families especially this time of the year with holidays. We always try to time it here before the holidays so people by christmas time, really would be able to have that first christmas hearing their family better and just having better communication in general. People can submit either online or write to you were going to share the information in a second. They just share a little bit about their story and why either they or someone in their lives needs the gift of hearing. Absolutely. This year on our website we have an icon and it is called gift of hearing its little gift watched up. If you press on that it will take you to a submission page. It will go through information about you and you could write really your essay or the reasons you wanted to nominate that person. I love that. Taken the first step to get help for themselves it may be difficult as a Family Member to approach the topic. Do you have ways you suggest someone start a conversation with someone that might need to check their hearing or look into Something Like this . Yeah you just start gently usually and be nice about it. Its one of those things that takes a long time to build up steam and oftentimes most of the time the folks around the person who has the issue are the ones to know first. And so, you know just because you know first doesnt mean you it can be frustrating. Put yourself in their shoes and think about how you would feel. Its a medical issue. You wouldnt bash somebody because they have heart disease. Its to figure out how we can get things back up and running and figure out what is an easy way to get help. The easiest thing is gently grab somebody by the hand and get a hearing test. Its a medical issue. Its a simple thing to have done once we know what is going on then we can figure out what can we do about it and we c for folks. Im interested to know in your professional experience the statistic is always shocking i thinkgpeople wait on average 7 years even if they have significant hearing loss to seek help. Why do you think people wait . I think because it usually happens so gradually and you make adjustments as you go on. So, i say if that would happen over night to somebody, they would be in our office the next day ready to make that change. I guess one of the things though that is often missed with hearing loss is there is so many other medical consequences to that untreated hearing loss. We have studies now that show by not treating hearing loss people are more likely to have dimension and alzheimers early dementia and alzheimers earlier on. Youre not keeping your brain as stimulated as it is used to being. . . When you start out talking to somebody we start gently and say gosh i have noticed youre having trouble. There is a lot more that goes along with it other than the communication problem. Getting that hearing test is really an easy kind of nonthreatening way to get started. Uhhuh. I think your whole gift of Hearing Program is so great. For so many people they cant afford hearing aids or if they have a h hearing impairment this is a really nice gift and way to introduce it to them. You have seen it a million times a game changer for people when they can hear. What kinds of things do you hear from people once they are able to experience life. There usually why did i wait so long to do this. Thats always the number one thing. Why did i wait so long . They usually have more energy from not straining so hard and really feel like themselves again. Thats the biggest thing just feeling like youre a whole person. Not that hearing loss wouldnt make you that way, but think when you are missing out on anything it doesnt feel so good. There heari l a part of aging. I wonder if people are hearing this and wondering is this program the gift
