Has anyone succeeded using bluetooth microphone to amplify patients voice so it can be heard on bluetooth hearing aids?
Hi, My wife (78) was diagnosed with PSP about 30 months ago and is in slow decline. Her voice is getting weaker and I am finding it difficult to hear what she says, much of it is mumbled. My hearing aids are bluetooth enabled, so I wondered if anyone had managed to amplify a patient's voice using

Starting fresh - probiotics
Hello people. I recently became disillusioned with the supplements I was taking. It came about because I restarted berberine after a three month break. My normal brand, renew by science, have doubled their strength, and within a day or two I was finding I was ridiculously tired, like I'd run a marathon

Hello friends, it’s a while since my last post but was waiting until I had some good news to share with you all but as the title of the post indicates the opposite. I have a wonderful Consultant Dr Jose Thomas who specialises in sleep disorders and RLS, the downside is he is based in Wales uk and I

distortion on Amsler grid
Hi, I’m 44 years old and developed eye pain a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty intense and mostly in the outer corner of my left eye though a little in my right eye too.

Pradaxa. Benefits and problems
Been on Pradaxa since 2016. Seems to do the job, but having started on 150mg found that bleeding from the anus was very unpleasant. The doctor reduced the dose to 110mg and that solved the problem. Taking the tablet gave me a lot of wind, but drinking plenty of water solved that. Pradaxa terrifies dentists

Newbie, tinnitus or not?
Hi Newbie here, I think I have tinnitus but have not been to the GP as I feel since I’ve hit 50 I seem to have one thing after another so don’t want to bother them again. I have this high pitched sound in I think just the left side/ear. I can only describe it as Eeeeeee. I was told by the nurse
