  Sometimes stress can be a positive force, motivating you. But it is often a negative force. If you experienced stress during a long period of time, it could become chronic —unless you take action. Stress is an automatic response designed by our ancestors to protect us from predators and other threats. Faced with danger, the body stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol flood our body. They elevate your heart rate, increase your blood pressure, boost your energy and prepare you to deal with the problem. These days you don't confront the danger of being eaten, but you still have multiple challenges every day. As a result, your body's natural alarm system may be stuck in the on position.

It's the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life.  This disease is not a normal part of aging.

Hearing loss is increasingly common among children, teens, and young adults. HOW OUR EARS WORK 1. Outer ear: sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through the ear canal. 2. Middle ear: the sound waves hit the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations are transferred to the malleus, incus and stapes. 3. Inner ear: the vibrations hit the cochlea and it creates electrical signals. 4. Brain processing: the auditory nerve carries them to the brain, interpreting them as a sound. MEASURING SOUND Sound is measured in decibels (dB). Sounds at or below 70 dB are generally considered safe. Any sound over 85 dB poses a risk of damaging your hearing over time.
