Can a simple👂surgery protect your MEMORY? A major new study suggests the answer is YES.

A new study published in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, the official peer-reviewed publication of the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF), finds that TWO common and treatable causes of conductive hearing loss—eardrum perforations and cholesteatoma, a type of abnormal skin growth in the middle ear—are associated with higher odds of dementia.

The key is simply restoring the flow of auditory information to the 🧠, whether through a device or a surgical fix.

It’s not just sleep. It’s your brain 🧠. Your heart ❤️. Your whole body🚨.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has numerous health consequences, largely stemming from it promoting whole-body inflammation and disrupting the normal immune system function. The biological pathways linking OSA to inflammation and a weakened immune system are complex but begin with intermittent drops in blood oxygen levels during sleep.

Persistent inflammation in the body and a weakened immune system may make individuals more vulnerable to a number of health concerns.

If you are concerned you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) please call our office to schedule a sleep study. Our sleep studies are completed right in the comfort of your own home, on your own!

That old tennis ball taped to your partner's back might not be the answer. A pillow over the ear may not be enough either. Here’s what might help:

article "My Partner Snores. Are There Any Tricks to Get Some Sleep?" suggests partners who snore regularly rule out obstructive sleep apnea sooner than later. This is a potentially serious condition that occurs when the airway collapses enough during sleep that it blocks airflow, temporarily pausing breathing and causing people to wake up gasping for air. Untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk for heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.

According to Dr. Vena, an assistant professor of sleep medicine at Harvard Medical, "Most people with sleep apnea snore, Dr. Vena said. But not all people who snore have sleep apnea, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis."

Long story short, it's time to take snoring seriously! Call our office to schedule a consult at 516-829-3466 or schedule online via our website at www.greatneckent.com .

Musicians suffer hearing loss in pursuit of their passion more than twice as often as average folks, a new evidence review says.

More than 2 in 5 musicians suffer from tinnitus and a quarter are affected by hearing loss, researchers recently reported in the journal Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.

“Many musicians quietly live with ringing ears, sound sensitivity or hearing loss, no matter whether they play in a symphony hall or a small club,” researcher Dr. Shaun Nguyen said in a news release. He’s a professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

The results suggest musicians might need their hearing tested more frequently, given that hearing problems are an occupational hazard to them, researchers said.

Do you suffer from hearing loss or ringing of the ear? If you are in need of an audiogram schedule a consult today! We offer hearing tests Monday-Friday right in our office.

In a study published today, in the The New York Times JAMA Neurology researchers linked obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that causes temporary pauses in breathing during sleep, with Parkinson’s disease.

There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, said Dr. Lee Neilson, a neurologist at Oregon Health & Science University who led the study. But the researchers did find that treating sleep apnea with a continuous positive airway pressure (or CPAP) machine was associated with a reduced likelihood of developing Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that causes tremors, stiffness, and difficulty speaking, moving and swallowing.

Sinus Infection Facts❗

Mucosal thickening is when the lining of your sinuses (the mucosa) becomes swollen or thicker than normal, usually because of inflammation. Some studies have found mucosal thickening in sinus passages more often in July, August, September, and December—months associated with pollen, mold, and viral epidemics.

Swelling of the mucosa → When the sinus lining thickens, it narrows the small drainage openings (called ostia) that normally let mucus flow out into the nose.

Poor drainage → Mucus gets trapped inside the sinus cavity instead of clearing out.

Reduced airflow → Less air circulation in the sinus makes it a warm, moist space—perfect for germs.

Bacterial or viral growth → With mucus stuck inside, bacteria (or sometimes fungi) can multiply, turning simple congestion into a sinus infection.

So, in short: Mucosal thickening blocks drainage → trapped mucus → infection develops.

If you are tired of suffering from repeat sinus issues please call our office at 516-829-3466!
