The real cause of hearing loss and how to prevent it
Alternative MedicineMarch 11, 2015Written by Belmarrahealth582 views
One of the most poignant true life stories may have given modern scientists and doctors the real reason behind hearing loss. This story is about a man who was very good at what he did. In fact, he was arguably the best in his chosen field. There was only one problem – when people applauded his work, he could not hear the applause.
By now you might have figured out who I’m talking about – Ludwig Van Beethoven. The great 18th-century musician directed one violin concerto, one opera, five piano concertos, nine symphonies, 17 string concertos, and 32 piano sonatas in his short life.
Beethoven started losing his hearing when he was around 28-years-old. He had mild fluctuating deafness along with tinnitus (ringing in the ears). In the beginning, he hid his deafness (like we all do). But as time progressed, it became worse and more impossible to hide. In a letter to his close friend, he wrote, “My hearing (has) grown steadily worse for three years… My ears whistle and buzz continually, day and night.” By the time he was 45, Beethoven became stone deaf.

Why Barometric Pressure Triggers Headaches - Causes, Symptoms & Prevention Tips
Many people notice that their headaches or migraines worsen when the weather changes. One of the most common culprits is barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure.

Research of Cell Membrane Nano Drug Delivery System and Its Application in Bionic Nanomedicine
Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years.
