Tinnitus Relief

I remember once, when I was a young girl, getting such a horrible ear ache that was loudly ringing and just plain painful all the way into my jaw and neck, which I was sure was part of an infection. Oddly enough, though, after a few hours laying on the couch with my older sister, who hugged me and tried to sooth the discomfort by keeping me mildly distracted watching tv with me and talking to me about barbie and all the things I was interested in at the time. It did go away on it’s own within the day, which I know think meant that it wasn’t an infection, and I thought it was just something kids tended to experience, because I know a lot of children get swimmers ear and earaches on a regular basis and I felt I had just suddenly fallen in to one of those categories. I had never experienced another ear ache and that persistent ringing until I was about 25 years old. The earache was so extreme that that I actually couldn’t hear people and things around me because the ringing was so intense.

There, farmer Maurice, who’s fluent in English, will walk you through fields of sage, orange mint, peppermint, elderberry, lavender, thyme, verbena, rosemary and more.

He’ll explain their use in several Swiss products, especially Ricola, the famous maker of cough drops, candies and pastilles that are sold globally.

Ricola’s original formula is a blend of 13 medicinal herbs grown in Switzerland. The Massereys are among 100 independent farmers throughout Switzerland who are under contract to Ricola.

Hearing Aid Batteries

Rayovac, the #1 manufacturer of hearing aid batteries in the world, announced new developments to its ProLine Advanced batteries at the recent AudiologyNOW! conference in Boston, Massachusetts.
Proudly the world's longest lasting hearing aid battery brand with a performance advantage of up to 34% over other mercury free brands, Rayovac is committed to make the best hearing aid battery even better.
"As the market leader, it's our mission to ensure that technology development from a battery perspective is moving at a pace to support the innovations that are planned for hearing instruments," said Randy Raymond, Global Sales & Marketing, Rayovac Hearing Aid Batteries.

In addition, ProLine Advanced will deliver a longer battery life, something that consumers continue to demand from their hearing aid batteries.

Flu Vaccine

When you see “Get Your Flu Vaccine Here” signs and banners outside pharmacies and in doctor’s offices, you might think, “isn’t it too late for that?”

The answer is no.

“Flu season typically peaks in January or February and can last as late as April or May,” says Dr. Anne Schuchat, Assistant Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service and Director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “We are encouraging people who have not yet been vaccinated to get vaccinated now.”

For millions of people each year, the flu can bring a fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, fatigue, and miserable days spent in bed instead of at work or school. However, you may not realize that more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications each year. The flu can also be deadly. Between 1976 and 2007, CDC estimates that annual flu-associated deaths in the United States have ranged from a low of about 3,000 people to a high of about 49,000 people.

Flu Shots

from James M. Steckelberg, M.D.

The flu shot protects against influenza, which isn't the same thing as the stomach flu (gastroenteritis). Gastroenteritis is an infection caused by a variety of viruses, including rotaviruses and noroviruses. Although it is often called the stomach flu, it is not caused by influenza viruses.

Real flu (influenza) attacks your respiratory system — your nose, throat and lungs — causing fever, muscle aches, coughing and congestion. Gastroenteritis, on the other hand, attacks your intestines causing signs and symptoms such as watery diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps.

No vaccine is available for gastroenteritis with the exception of two oral rotavirus vaccines — RotaTeq and Rotarix — for infants. However, you can reduce your risk of gastroenteritis by frequent and thorough hand-washing.

The annual flu vaccine is the most effective way to reduce your risk of getting influenza.
