Digital Hearing Aids Come of Age
August 7th, 2011 | 
Author: Deafness and hearing loss are not uncommon among people over 50, or even younger. Today’s hearing solutions are affordable, comfortable and highly technical.
The Hearing ProblemMore baby boomers are facing hearing loss issues than any other generation, if you believe reports in print and electronic media. Boomers reaching their 50s and 60s deal with typical age-related hearing loss, but many also suffer consequences of having been the first teens to latch onto ear-splitting rock music.
Earbuds, headphones and concerts may be contributors. But no matter the reasons, this generation, with wide-spread hearing concerns, is failing to do something about it, says a recent report from ABC News in Denver.
Quoting a Harris poll for Cochlear Americas, the report says hearing loss has a profound impact on quality-of-life. For instance, both women and men become annoyed or impatient with people who appear to not be listening. Those non-listeners are often hearing impaired and undiagnosed.
Relationships, says the study, can be adversely affected. Hearing loss is known to create depression and isolation. It can be dangerous – you can’t hear oncoming traffic, for example. Even so, the poll says 57% of men and 37% of women have not sought treatment or evaluation.

Hiv/aids and Education
HIV/AIDS is the global issue of new era of science and technology and we should know that the problem of widespread AIDS is challenge for human survival. Children and young people need to be equipped with the knowledge, attitudes, values and skills that will help them face these challenges and assist them in making healthy life-style choices as they grow. Education delivered through schools is one of the ways through which children can be helped to face these challenges and make such choices.
Providing information about HIV (transmission, risk factors, how to avoid infection) is necessary, but not sufficient, to lead to healthy behavioral change. Programs that provide accurate information, to counteract the myths and misinformation, frequently report improvements in knowledge and attitudes, but this is poorly correlated with behavioral change related to risk taking and desirable behavioral outcomes. Education can be effective in the more difficult task of achieving and sustaining behavior change about HIV/AIDS. The schools can either be a place that practices discrimination, prejudice and undue fear or one that demonstrates society’s commitment to equity.School policies need to ensure that every child and adolescent has the right to life education; particularly when that education is necessary for survival and avoidance of HIV infection.
