Self Care Club

This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare.  In honour of World Hearing Day on March 3rd, we’re talking about something most of us take completely for granted… until we can’t hear the waiter, the TV suddenly “too quiet,” and everyone starts mumbling. This week, we’re joined by leading ear surgeon Joseph Manjaly, Consultant Otologist & Auditory Implant Surgeon at OneWelbeck ENT and Clinical Lead at Royal National ENT and UCLH, who spends his days quite literally changing how people experience the world. We get into the surprising truth about hearing loss — including why it’s not just an “old person thing,” how midlife hearing loss is now the biggest modifiable risk factor for dementia, and the everyday habits that could be quietly damaging your ears. Joe explains: Why hearing loss happens (and why it’s not always about ageing) The link between hearing loss, brain health and dementia Tinnitus — what that ringing actually is, and what you can do about it The biggest myths about hearing (yes, we’re looking at you, cotton buds) The incredible technology already restoring hearing — and what’s coming next Plus, we talk about the emotional side of hearing loss; from isolation and confidence to the life-changing moment when someone hears clearly again. Because hearing isn’t just about sound it’s about connection, memory, and staying engaged with the people you love. And after this episode, you may never put a cotton bud anywhere near your ear again!  Join Our Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1115099072702743/?ref=share_group_link Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/selfcareclubpod/ YouTube https://youtube.com/c/SelfCareClub TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLnXyS1S/ Email [email protected]  Website www.theselfcareclub.co.uk Studio production by @launchpodstudios Music by purpleplanet.
