UCHealth sees increase in teens and young adults suffering from hearing loss

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:24:04 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- UCHealth leaders said they’re seeing an increase in young people suffering from noise-induced hearing loss.  Hearing loss is most associated with age, but UCHealth audiologist Dr. Vinaya Manchaiah said exposure to loud noise is the second biggest risk factor. "In the past, we didn’t have access to listen to music for really long times, but now with the smartphones, you can listen to music for a long time and you see people wearing headphones all day long,” Manchaiah said. Around the world, 50% of teenagers and younger adults (12-35) are at risk of hearing loss due to recreational exposure to loud sounds, according to UCHealth leaders.   State to crack down on late car registrations “If you’ve lost some hearing because of noise and now you’re losing it because of age, then at a much younger age, people will have hearing loss,” Manchaiah said. John James suffered from noise-induced hearing loss after working in construction for 40 ...

McCaughey: College industrial complex pushes lies of left

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:24:04 GMT

Families saving for college and encouraging their kids to aim for the top are getting scammed by the left-wing college industrial complex. Colleges distort and outright lie about who gets accepted, education quality and what it costs. If they were selling auto loans and used the same deceptive tactics, they’d be in jail.Columbia University announced earlier this month that it is permanently eliminating SAT and ACT test scores as part of the undergraduate admissions process — the first Ivy League school to go permanently test-optional. Columbia issued a slippery statement about making admissions “nuanced” and “respecting varied backgrounds, voices and experiences.” Truth is, Columbia is ditching merit for diversity. Without admitting it, Columbia has replaced an academic mission — providing a rigorous education to a group of prepared students — with a new one: social engineering.Expect other colleges to follow.President Joe Biden made equity the mission ...

Tips for making your commute a productive one

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:24:04 GMT

Commuting is a part of life for people across the globe. Commutes may not be too difficult, but even the most affable person can periodically be affected by the monotony of commuting day in and day out.According to data from the United States Census Bureau, the average person’s commute is just over 27 minutes in each direction while driving solo. For those relying on public transportation to get to work, that number doubles to around 60 minutes each way.At a duration of 54 minutes per day, times five days a week, commuters are spending 4.5 hours getting to and from work each week. That adds up to about 234 hours a year, not excluding for vacations or other time away from work.Commuters may aspire to make their commutes easier and more tolerable, and the following are some ways to do just that.Change your method of travel.Driving solo may be faster, but being behind the wheel in traffic can be stressful. Taking a bus or a train leaves that stress to someone else, which may make...

Editorial: Joe Biden, deficit fighter? Think again

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:24:04 GMT

President Joe Biden likes to pass himself off as a deficit slayer, which is a bit like Monty Python’s Mr. Creosote claiming to be an avid dieter.Biden in February bragged that he had presided over “the largest deficit reduction in American history,” a drop of more than $1.7 trillion. Never mind that the administration was still sitting on $1.4 trillion in red ink when the president thumped his chest. In fact, the steep drop in the annual deficit was a result of pandemic relief spending coming off the books and had nothing to do with the White House.Biden did indeed happen to be the man sitting in the Oval Office when the deficit inevitably eased after the nation’s battle with COVID. The president’s braggadocio, however, implies that he’s the leader taxpayers can trust to get the nation’s fiscal house in order. And this is where reality intrudes.Thanks to the massive spending bills backed by congressional Democrats and Biden, the baseline trajectory of federal outlays over the next d...

Solomon: Emergency food biz cutting it close with fear pitches

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:24:04 GMT

“Calories plus energy equals survival,” roars the refrain of a far-too-frequent FOX News satellite radio commercial.If you’re like me and a big listener of satellite radio, you can’t help but come across ads for emergency food storage.The ads are interesting, as expected, and a little bizarre. They ask if we’ve ever noticed that some people never seem stressed about life? This, of course, leads to the fact that all of these people have emergency food supplies that can feed them for decades. Little did we know that the secret of happiness is knowing that you have dehydrated white rice for a post-Apocalyptic world.But maybe it is.As expected, many companies that specialize in emergency food supplies have reported a boom in sales since the pandemic began.For example, Mountain House, a manufacturer of freeze-dried meals, reported a 400% increase in sales in March 2020 compared to the previous year. Wise Company, another provider of emergency food supplies, reported a 500% increase in sa...
