The Hearing Aid:

A Practical Alternative compiled by Helen Peterson

Are you missing participating in every aspect of your life? Can you hear over background noise? Has a friend or family member been missing out because they cannot hear well but will not admit it? “Hearing loss does not just affect the elderly,” says

Verna Pyplacz, a certified and registered audiologist with Ears Hearing Clinic Inc. on East Hastings (www. earshearingclinics.com). Pyplacz, who has 32 years of practice as an audiologist, says people of any age can exhibit signs of hearing loss. “Sometimes we are born with it or we acquire it through ear disease, exposure to loud noise or merely aging.”

OPEN HOUSE JANUARY 24 - 28 2011 Meet the company representative

With over 40 years of experience in helping people hear better, Pyplacz knows “Ears” can make a difference for you. “Our advanced, technically in-depth evaluations will help you understand. Our listening and consultative experience will help us together find a solution for hearing better that is right for you, your family and your circumstances.” Complimentary services at Ears Hearing Clinic include Audiology Consultations for adults; Cleaning and Servicing Hearing Aids (in-house); and Tubing Changes. “Technology has provided us with very sophisticated hearing aids that are almost invisible when you are wearing them,” she says. “People with all levels of hearing loss – from not fully hearing conversations to major hearing problems – we welcome any type of inquiry.”

The Canadian Hard of Hearing Association states that in B.C., if you are enrolled in the Employment Program for Persons with Disabilities, or receiving social assistance (and can’t find employment due to hearing loss), the government will pay for hearing aids, and sometimes batteries. The elderly, and everyone else not under a social service or employment program, receive no funding. Additionally, some workplace extended health care plans will cover up to $500 of the cost of hearing aids. Go to www.health.gov.bc.ca for more info.

HEAR NO EVIL Central Hearing Loss This least common form of hearing impairment occurs as a result of a problem in the central auditory system. Although the outer, middle and inner ear parts deliver sound signals, they are not processed by the brain. Sound amplification does not address this type of dysfunction.

Conductive Hearing Loss Conductive hearing loss results from malfunction of the outer and/ or middle ear. Causes can be as simple as impacted earwax, or as serious as middle ear infection, eardrum perforation or dislocation of the middle ear bones. Most of these symptoms can be medically or surgically treated. When treated in time, some conductive hearing losses may not require artificial amplification. Untreatable cases often result in the need for a hearing aid or other hearing assistive devices.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss By far the most common type of hearing impairment, sensorineural loss is usually the result of cochlear hair cell damage. Sound may be conducted normally to the inner

ear, but the damaged hair cells are unable to ‘trigger’ and therefore cannot send signals to the central auditory system. In most cases those that do ‘trigger’ are damaged and as a result send a distorted message to the brain. Because the cochlea is tiny and the hair cells are microscopic, no medical procedure and ‘reverse’ sensorineural hearing loss. The loss can be aided with amplification, essentially allowing remaining hair cells to respond to the best of their abilities.

Common causes of sensorineural hearing loss are: • Age. The most prevalent cause of hearing loss and impairment, age-induced hearing loss, known as presbycusis, occurs as part of the body’s natural wear and tear over time • Prolonged exposure to excessive noise • Hereditary predisposition • Disease • Chemotherapy • Ototoxic medication • Prenatal, perinatal or congenital factors

Mixed Hearing Loss This is a condition in which both the conductive and sensorineural hearing loss is present. Both the middle and inner ear are affected.

individuals usually become accustomed to reduced sound information. The end result of listening with impaired hearing becomes the norm, when it is not! The following signs are common amongst hearing loss sufferers: • Frequent requests for repetition • Difficulty understanding speech in the presence of background noise • Complaints about others ‘mumbling’ • Listening to TV or radio at very high volume • Difficulty with the telephone • Frequent inappropriate conversational responses • Denial of hearing loss and unwillingness to be medically tested • Social withdrawal If you suspect you or a loved one may have impaired hearing, call your neighbourhood hearing clinic.

The Many Facets of Arthritis by Helen Peterson

The Arthritis Society states that arthritis (‘arth’ meaning joint, ‘itis’ meaning inflammation) isn’t a onenote story or even a few variations on a single theme; it actually consists of more than 100 different conditions. Many of us are familiar with con-

ditions like Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as ‘wear and tear’ arthritis – i.e. the wearing down of cartilage causing pain and stiffness – that a good many people think is the only form of the disease. I’ll admit, I was one of those people. I’d seen the gnarled hands of older folks, or heard people complain of stiffness, or saw them walking with a cane

or stooped over due to sore hips. But it wasn’t until I joined in the recent Joints in Motion event for the Arthritis Society of Canada (www.arthritis.ca) that I really got to know how far-reaching, and complex, this family of diseases really is. Speaking first-hand with individuals who either have an arthritic condition themselves, or were representing family members or friends afflicted – their “heroes” – I was able to learn a great deal, and I want to share their all-toocommon, or at times unique, stories with readers. The common denominator for all these conditions is joint and musculoskeletal pain. Often, that pain is a result of inflammation of the joint lining. But is goes much further than that. Our keynote speaker at the wrap-up dinner, Denni from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, has dealt with a number of issues, the most painful being Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), which is a type of inflammatory arthritis and an autoCanada’s team for Joints in Motion celebrates at Walt Disney World during the multi-marathon event, January 9, 2011. (I’m in the middle/ back! – HP).

immune disease. In PsA, the joints are the target of the immune attack causing swelling, pain and warmth (inflammation) in the joints, resulting in inflammatory arthritis. In most people psoriatic arthritis starts after psoriasis. This wife and mom has endured a lot, but ran the half-marathon in support of fundraising for the Society. (Read more of her story at www.arthritis.ca, news releases). Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a type of inflammatory arthritis and an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is one where the body’s immune system becomes confused and begins to “attack” the body. In RA, the joints are also the target of the immune attack. Several people on the Joints in Motion team have forms of RA, or are supporting those with more severe cases. One of our coordinators, Tanya, has watched both her mom and sister endure a lot of pain, and medication / therapy options to try to get relief. Tanya’s mom was an avid health nut and aerobics instructor back in the day, but Renaud’s Syndrome, involving the joints of the hands, caused a poor quality of life, until she got some relief through Arthri-

Accurate, and early, diagnosis and treatment is imperative for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

tis Society programs and by taking pain medication. Teresa, a spunky 50-something from Kelowna, BC, who power-walked the five-kilometre distance, has what I’d call “A Mixed Bag.” It’s taken several years for her to get proper diagnosis for AS, RA, OA and Fibromyalgia. Teresa says there’s a lack of rheumatologists available, for physicians to refer arthritic patients to for various treatments. She’s had to give up sports, but with her cocktail of treatments, she is able to attend Joints in Motion for her fifth sojourn. Way to go! Two participants on the trip, Henry and Betty, are parents of a child with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, or now simply JA (dropping the ‘rheumatoid’,) which is quite different from adult rheumatoid arthritis. JA is defined as continuous inflammation of one or more joints lasting at least six weeks for which no other cause can be found. Arthritis is one of the most common chronic illnesses affecting children. It affects one in 1,000 Canadian children under the age of 16. Dad walked the marathon in six-and-a-half hours for the cause. Kudos.

Local Resources

And I think a trip through airport scanners must be an adventure for my friend with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). In AS, the joints in the spine are the target of the immune attack, resulting in pain and stiffness (inflammation) in the back. The first symptoms of AS typically start in late adolescence, and it usually starts at the base of the spine, where the spine attaches to the pelvis (sacroiliac (SI) joints). This inflammation can spread upwards to involve other parts of the spine, and in most cases it is a genetically inherited condition. As a man in his 40s, he required surgery, and now has titanium rods, pins

and screws up his entire spine, and frequent joint pain all over. It’s life-limiting at times, and he requires infusions of medication to keep him pain-free. This is arthritis? Apparently, it is. So you see, the diagnosis, medication, physical therapy, counselling and other resources required to help the millions of people with arthritis live their lives fully comes at a price. So next time you hear someone has arthritis, realize that the spectrum is vast, and your compassion (and financial contribution) means the world to them. Because at some point, it could be your turn…

The Arthritis Self-management Program is held Tuesdays: Feb. 1 through Mar. 8, geared for people in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. Located at The Arthritis Society Learning Centre, 895 W. 10th Ave., Vancouver, main floor, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Cost is $25.00; (includes Arthritis help-book, family member/friend can attend for $10.00). To register, call 604714-5550. Managing your Rheumatoid Arthritis Workshop is on Saturday, Feb. 5. It features a panel of experts and you will learn about rheumatoid arthritis and current treatments, find out how to cope with chronic pain and manage fatigue and discover the value and benefits of physical activity.

Sue Mah, registered dietician and renowned speaker, has a few simple tips to help you keep your food budget in check and your groceries fresh for longer. Her first rule is the most simple: make sure you are getting the absolute best price to begin with. “You no longer have to shop at premium or expensive grocers to get the best fresh foods. Many large grocery stores stock great quality fresh produce, ensuring that price is no longer an obstacle to eating well.” Once you get the food home, Sue has some easy tips to making sure you get the maximum value out of your fresh food purchases.
