When someone has moderate hearing loss they will hear relatively well if you are talking to them face to face in a quiet environment. They will not hear well if you are walking away from them, in a different room, or if noise is present. People with hearing loss may be unaware of the extent of it: that’s where loved ones come in. Family members who have grown frustrated with them not being able to hear are the ones to prompt them to get a hearing test. Encourage them to have their hearing tested, you will be doing them and yourself a big favour in the long run.

Peripheral Neuropathy is a neurological condition that can cause symptoms such as weakness, cramping, decreased tendon reflexes, numbness, pain, and a burning sensation, usually in the limbs. The peripheral nervous system is commonly affected in diabetic patients, which is known as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Studies have found that acupuncture can help improve nerve conduction in those with DPN, as well as numbness, pain, rigidity and alterations in temperature perception. Studies also suggest that acupuncture may accelerate the nerve regenerative process in DPN patients, who normally may have delayed nerve regeneration that can cause pain and numbness.
