NEW HEARING AID WIRED FOR SOUND

A WORLD first hearing aid has been “trained” using 12 million real-life sound scenes to support how the brain naturally works.

The device was developed after research revealed people with hearing loss needed access to all sounds for their brains to make sense of their environment.

The Oticon More aid uses artificial intelligence (AI), rather than a focus on speech which allows the wearer to hear more and helps the brain interpret and focus on what it needs to hear.

It uses one of the most advanced technologies, a Deep Neural Network platform, which has been trained using 12 million everyday-life sound scenes, collected in nature using a special 360-degree spherical microphone.

As a result, the hearing aid has learned to recognise all the varying types of sounds, their details and how they should ideally sound.

“Most people think we hear with our ears, but our brains are our main tool for hearing,” Oticon Australia national audiology manager Jonathan Constantine said.

“This new hearing aid uses the Deep Neural Network to help the brain hear sound in the most natural and effective way.

“Traditional hearing aids block out surrounding sound, but Oticon More scans and analyses a sound scene at 500 times per second allowing the brain to process key sounds, such as someone else speaking or a bird chirping, even in a noisy, crowded environment.”

It is the world’s first hearing aid to support the brain to work in the most natural and effective way taking in a full sound scene.

The device, which can be linked to compatible smartphones, also allows users to directly stream music and phone calls into their ear and even connects to the TV and computers with the use of additional accessories.

ABOUT 6.1 million people or about 28 per cent of Australians suffer from arthritis and other muscloskeletal conditions. There are supplements to help ease symptoms, but MARITA MASON has a better solution.

STEM cells are the only cells in our body capable of repair and renewal. Cells are constantly breaking down and being replaced where possible, but the older we get, fewer stem cells are released.

Research now shows that the body heals itself via the migration of adult stem cells from the bone marrow. Damaged cells release a compound that calls adult stem cells to the damage.

Providing they can get to the tissues, they can turn into that tissue and renew the damage.

For example, with arthritis, adult stem cells can become chrondrocytes – the cells that produce new cartilage.

Adult stem cells can become new bone cells and have been linked with an increase of Lubricin, a protein found in joint fluid that acts like a shock absorber.

It has been shown that once people are over 30, their natural stem cell migration slows by 5 per cent a year.

By the time you’re 65, there is a 90 per cent loss of circulating stem cells and that is why the signs of ageing increase so dramatically then.

One of the most efficient ways of releasing more stem cells into our circulation is to take stem cell nutrition, a nutritional food that supports the release and activity of our own stem cells.

Scientists have discovered that an aqua botanical from Lake Klamath, Oregon, known as AFA is the most potent form of stem cell nutrition.

This is now available as a supplement. One dose can release 5-9 million of your own stem cells to replace damaged or worn out cells.

Not only can these stem cells become cartilage and muscle cells, but also brain, kidney, liver, skin, heart, bone, pancreas, thyroid or eye cells – whatever your body needs to repair and regenerate.

The body’s innate intelligence will direct those stem cells to where they are most needed in the body.

Adult stem cells are the only known source for rebuilding the body.

Stem cell nutrition is safe, affordable, backed by science, patented and guaranteed and is now available in Australia. Visit maritamason.com

THE word alchemist isn’t something you hear every day and for many, it may sound a bit “otherworldly”.

Historically, alchemists believed there was a spiritual connection between metals and earth, and metal could be turned to gold. And although the ancient sort of alchemist obviously failed, alchemy is essentially where modern chemistry was born.

Today, an alchemist is simply someone who can transform things for the better. Enter Cate Young, an alchemist, life stylist and integrative wellness coach at Kansha, a holistic wellness clinic in Noosaville.

After training as a health coach, Cate’s career began to evolve and now she is helping her clients heal, transform and gain clarity through her gift in alchemy.

She uses a series of techniques, such as energy clearing, meditation and visualisation techniques to connect clients with what she refers to as their blueprint.

This is a term she’s trademarked and which has recently been recognised as a healing modality in Australia and New Zealand. This means it will likely become a more known form of therapy, lined up with other more traditional practices such as yoga, meditation and acupuncture. “Alchemy is all about transformation and creation,” she says. “I help people connect with their essence, their blueprint. We then use this as their ‘compass’ to map out a life that’s aligned with their unique soul and purpose.

“In a nut-shell, I’m a modern-day way-finder who designs and facilitates integrative healing solutions for collective wellness and transformation.”

While there seems to be an element of magic to what Cate does, in a practical sense she really just helps cut through all the noise.

“Sometimes in life we lose our confidence and purpose,” she says. “This can be as a result of overwhelm, trauma, anxiety, change of life circumstances or even just wanting to succeed in something we haven’t done before.”

She designed a four-week course called Design the Life You Love, focused around alignment, connection, creation and drawing up an actionable plan to allow you to succeed.

The sessions are different for everyone – some need healing, others clarity, and some transformation.

“I work with people from all walks of life, no one is exempt from needing a bit of healing and redirecting. And that’s my specialty – helping people gain clarity, rediscover their why and live their best lives with intention,” she says. Visit kansha.com.au
