Learn everything from a bot-related way to die in the future to thoughts around having a digital surrogate to a deceased loved one.

In the book Love Story, love meant never having to say you’re sorry. Now, in the age of griefbots, death mean you never have to say goodbye.

While these bots and AI avatars may be beneficial to the grieving process, there’s also a risk that they could keep us clinging to the past, spending our time with the deceased rather than the living, and find ourselves unable to move forward and grow.

Age-related hearing loss – which is the third leading cause of chronic disability in older adults – has been shown to be associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. Hearing loss also causes worse health care professional–patient communication, more frequent hospitalization, more social isolation, functional declines, and falls. Hearing loss can be well-managed with hearing aids, yet most people refuse to wear them.

What are the parts of my auditory system?

• Your auditory system (hearing system) consists of many different parts, including your: Outer ear, Middle ear, inner ear, and auditory nervous system.  Successful hearing requires all these parts to function properly.

What Do I Need to Know About Hearing Loss?

• About 38 percent of adults between the ages of 65 and 75 have age-related hearing loss—and this climbs to 54 percent in the years after that. Don’t wait to see an audiologist for an exam and treatment.

Is Hearing Loss Permanent?

• The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural (permanent), but there are a few causes of hearing loss that can be curor surgery. See an audiologist for a diagnosis and treatment plan.

What foods will help me keep my hearing?

What Do I Need to Know About Hearing aids?

• Hearing aids are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid, so you will have to pay for them if those are your only insurance. Despite price, they all work in the same way. If you go through an audiologist, they will usually bundle their services for one price (cost of hearing aid, fitting appointments, training on how to use, follow-up visits and repair. Big-box stores also sell these devices, so it makes sense to shop around.
