HEARING LOSS
More than 40% of those aged 50 and
above in the UK experience some
kind of difficulty hearing, according
to Action on Hearing Loss (formerly
the RNID). Age is the biggest factor, genetics can play
a part and hearing loss is also affected by repeated
exposure to loud noises or viral infections in the ears.
TREATMENT
Hearing aids are the most common treatment
- they can make sounds louder, and there are
many variations, including open-fitting aids used
routinely by the NHS. Those with more severe
hearing loss may have cochlear implants fitted.
These are tiny electronic devices implanted in the
ear that stimulate the auditory nerve in reaction
to sounds. There are also smartphone and tablet
apps such as Tap Tap, which alerts the user to
important sounds such as a knock on the door
or activated smoke alarm.

such as hydrotherapy (exercises in a warm
pool) and physiotherapy to relieve joint pain.
In very severe cases, surgery may be needed
to reconstruct or replace damaged joints.
PREVENTION
Maintaining a healthy weight will reduce the
impact on joints and make regular exercise
easier. Non-smokers are at less risk of
developing rheumatoid arthritis, and a
healthy diet can stave off gout - the type of
arthritis that causes small crystals around
the joints (more common in men).
Arthritis can also develop around previous
injuries, so take care when exercising.
