When we protect our hearing, we protect our health

Every year in April, the world celebrates Noise Protection Day. It's not yet another, short-term opportunity to convey a message about the importance of hearing protection.

Serious campaigns include workshops, lectures and forums on hearing protection, the importance of prevention and timely response to the problem. Why?

Noise is a form of pollution.

Just as we pay attention to the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat, it is equally important we take care of the sounds that reach to us.

Noise disturbs peace.

Noise affects psychophysical health, and hearing loss caused by noise affects the safety of movement and functioning at home or at work.

That's not all. But let's first see how to identify the problem.

Symptoms of impaired hearing

Here are some of the signs that indicate hearing problem:

You hear speech and sounds like vague murmuring
You have difficulty understanding words, especially in a noisy place
You keep turning up the tone on your TV or phone
You often have to ask your company to speak slowly, loudly and clearly

Withdrawal from conversation and avoidance of social events is present as well.

The feeling of hearing loss is not pleasant, and it is especially difficult for the elderly when they feel that others are avoiding them because of the efforts they put into conversation, elevated tones or inability to understand others.

Children may be insecure, confused and discouraged, and there is really no individual for whom this does not pose a mental, physical, and even emotional challenge.

Today, such problems are solvable.

How we introduced new standards in ENT treatment at the Polyclinic

Polyclinic Standard hires only highly qualified persons for the services it offers. Our ENT practice has state-of-the-art equipment and diagnostic procedures for hearing testing of children and adults in Montenegro.

Equipment only is not enough. We want to restore the standard of patient care and to raise patient awareness on the importance of prevention and timely response.

DURING THE MONTH OF APRIL ALL OUR ETN SERVICES ARE REDUCED BY 20%

Spring fatigue or spring mood?

Spring brings with it a number of changes, and fatigue is very common one. Allergies and sneezes are not pleasant either, but not every change is unpleasant either. Some can be associated with a better mood, heightened desire to stay in nature and to be active. We can certainly try to make it so.

Spring allergies, fatigue, colds, sneezes, asthma... These are some of the most common problems that occur at this time of the year.

The lack of exposure to sunlight during the winter can be felt through vitamin D deficiency, and the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables on the table will lead to a lack of important vitamins and minerals.

All this affects the feeling of fatigue, exhaustion and lowered mood.

Allergy or cold

Problems with allergies may be indicated by a constant runny nose, irritation of the throat, persistent sneezing and the feeling that we have a cold that does not pass. They can be accompanied by breathing problems or skin reactions.

Maybe it is really only a cold that's hard to treat, transient irritation, but maybe it is an allergy that should be paid attention to. We can't do that without a medical examination and proper analysis.

Specific and reliable laboratory and allergy testsare important for the proper diagnosis of problems that come with spring, as well as regular control and monitoring of already known, chronic conditions.

Your doctor cannot determine a treatment plan without reliable findings, whether it's asthma, sneezing, infection, allergies, hormone disruption, or vitamin and mineral deficiency.

Fatigue is a common consequence of one of the problems mentioned.

Standard of care for patients

In the laboratory Standard , you can conduct analyses that will help you determine the cause of spring problems or fatigue. This is the best way to deal with it or to avoid exacerbation in case of chronical problems.

The laboratory is equipped with devices of the latest technology. But just the equipment is not enough. Experts take care of the procedure according to the highest international standards so that the results are reliable.

The results always arrive in time, but the patient must also take care of himself/herself and report the symptom in a timely manner.

Take care of yourself, that's the only way we can take care of you.

Always consult your doctor to assess whether you need an analysis and which one. Do not neglect the symptom and trust the experts. Once we trace the root of the problem, it is easy to remove it.

There is no need to suffer fatigue or difficulties.

The team of the polyclinic and laboratory Standard wishes you an active spring, in a good mood.

Laboratory Standard – advanced diagnostics, approach with care.
