Men’s Health
April 2018
Take action to support heart healthHeart disease is responsible for 1 in 4 male deaths, but many men may not realize when their life is at risk.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points out that half of the men who die suddenly of coronary heart disease did not experience symptoms.
To lower your risk for heart disease, it’s important to stay on top of heart health risk factors, such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels. In addition, make lifestyle choices that support cardiovascular health. To support heart health:
Bring on healthy foods. A heart-healthy diet includes a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, skinless poultry, and fish. Select low-fat dairy products and eat fewer processed foods. Choose foods that are low in saturated and trans fat, and high in fiber, to help
lower cholesterol. Limiting salt can help lower blood pressure; flavor your food with herbs instead. Also limit red meat and sweets.
Burn calories with activity. Being active can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. Each week aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking or biking. If you can’t set aside a long period of time for daily exercise, fit several 10-minute
bouts of exercise into your day.
Don’t smoke. About 1 in 6 men smoke cigarettes, according to the CDC. Smoking increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as cancer. It damages the way the heart functions and also harms the structure of blood vessels.
Limit alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol can raise blood pressure. If you drink, do so moderately — up to two drinks per day for men and one
for women.
Get regular checkups. Ask your doctor if your weight is in a healthy range, and have your blood pressure checked. High blood pressure has
no symptoms and is a risk factor for heart disease. Also ask your health care provider about cholesterol levels, as high cholesterol is also a key risk factor, and talk about additional steps you can take to lower your risk for heart disease.
Top men’s health issues: Heart disease and cancerAlmost half of men in the United States die from two causes: heart disease and cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In 2014, the most recent year for which information is available, those health conditions were responsible for about 48 percent of deaths.
Statistics from the CDC show that the top 10 causes of death for men are:
Risk factors for heart disease
• High blood pressure
• High LDL (bad) cholesterol
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• Being overweight or obese
• A poor diet
• Physical inactivity
Heart disease – 24.5%
Cancer – 23.4%
Unintentional injuries – 6.4%
Chronic lowerrespiratory diseases – 5.2%
Stroke – 4.2%
Diabetes – 3.1%
Suicide – 2.5%
Alzheimer’s disease – 2.1%
Influenza and pneumonia – 2.0%
Chronic liver disease – 1.9%

Hearing
July 2018
Loud and long can be deafening: Take steps to save your hearingLoud noise is the enemy of good hearing. From blaring music at a rock concert to the roar of a motorcycle engine or the whine of a leaf blower, noise can damage the inner ear and bring hearing loss that can’t be corrected.
Both the intensity of noise and its duration damage hearing. It’s possible to harm your hearing after two hours of exposure to a noisy leaf blower, or 15 minutes of thundering crowd noise at a football game.
A person might not notice significant damage immediately, but the impact of noise exposure adds up over a person’s lifetime. Exposure on a regular basis increases the risk for permanent damage.
After leaving a noisy environment, your ears may feel stuffed up and sounds may be muffled. Your hearing may return to normal within a few hours or days, but if you’re exposed to loud noise again and again, irreversible hearing loss can occur.
Why does hearing fade?Hearing loss occurs when tiny hair cells in the inner ear are damaged. Exposure to loud noise can overwork the hair cells and cause them to die.
Hearing loss can also occur when noise damages the auditory nerve. This nerve carries information about sounds to the brain, and when it’s harmed you may have difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments.
When a noise is extremely loud, it can cause damage right away. A person who’s exposed to noise from a gunshot or explosion could rupture an eardrum or damage the bones in the middle of the ear, immediately causing permanent harm.
Protect yourselfThe best way to protect your hearing is to avoid loud noise. When listening to music, turn down the volume on your headphones. Buy quieter power tools or recreational vehicles when they’re available, and reduce machine noise by keeping the item well lubricated and replacing worn parts.
If you’re in a noisy environment, use hearing protection and take breaks from the noise. At a concert, move away from the speakers and wear earplugs. Bring earplugs to a sports event, and put some in when riding a motorcycle.
By being alert to the dangers of loud noises and using protective devices, you’re taking steps to preserve your hearing.
By the numbers:About 40 million people in the United States have some hearing damage due to exposure to loud noise.
Trouble with hearing is the third most commonly reported chronic health condition in the United States.
Each year, 22 million workers are exposed to potentially damaging noise at the workplace.
An estimated $242 million is spent each year on workers’ compensation claims for hearing loss disability. Sources: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Did you know?Most people don’t feel any warning signs until their hearing is damaged.
A person can develop noise-induced hearing loss at any age.
You could lose some hearing in less than a minute if you’re near a fire truck or ambulance siren.
If a firecracker explodes near your ear, you could lose all your hearing.

Noise not the only cause of hearing lossWhile exposure to loud noise can significantly damage hearing, it’s far from the only reason for hearing loss.
Hearing loss may also be due to:
Genetics: Hearing loss may run in the family. About 50 to 60 percent of hearing loss in babies occurs because of genetic causes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Earwax: Excessive earwax can block the ear canal, temporarily making it difficult to hear.
Ear infections: An ear infection can lead to fluid buildup in the middle ear, and bring serious problems if left untreated.
Disease: Measles, mumps, and meningitis can impact hearing. Otosclerosis, which makes it difficult for the bones in the middle ear to move, and Meniere’s disease, an inner ear problem, are other diseases that can lead to loss of hearing.
Medications: Large amounts of aspirin, certain antibiotics, and some chemotherapy drugs can affect hearing.
Head injury: A loss of hearing can follow a blow to the head.
Aging: Presbycusis can occur as a person gets older. Speech can sound muffled, and the television volume may need to be higher in order to be heard. About a quarter of people between age 55 and 64, and about half of those over 65, have some degree of hearing loss, according to Mayo Clinic.
Next month:Chronic
Conditions
Reduce noise levels with hearing protectionWhen loud noises can’t be avoided, the best way to preserve your hearing is with a hearing protection device.
The best hearing protection for you will be one that you find comfortable and will wear, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The amount of noise reduction offered by the device is often written on the label.
Options include:
Earplugs: Often inexpensive, they keep sound out with an airtight seal in the ear canal. They come in a number of styles, including formable foam and canal caps, which are often attached to a flexible plastic or metal band.
Earmuffs: They cover the outer ear to block noise, but may not work as well if you have glasses, sideburns, or a heavy beard.
Custom protection: An earplug may be molded to fit your ear, or an earmuff may have a built-in radio or communication device.
How loud is too loud?
If you need to shout when the person you’re speaking to is only a few feet away, it’s too noisy. Use earplugs or move to a quieter area.
To measure the noise level, download a smartphone app that acts as a sound level meter. If the reading is 85 decibels or higher, you should only be exposed to the noise for a short time before heading to a quieter area.
Sound level Example Resulting damage
30 decibels WhisperingThese sounds typically don’t damage hearing
45 decibels Refrigerator humming
60 decibels Normal conversation
70 decibels Washing machine, dishwasher You may feel annoyed by noises at this level85 decibels Heavy city traffic
90 decibels Gas-powered lawnmowers and leaf blowers
Damage possible after 2 hours
95 decibels Motorcycles Damage possible after about 50 minutes
100 decibels Sporting events Hearing loss possible after 15 minutes
105-110 decibels Rock concert or nightclub Hearing loss possible in less than 5 minutes
120 decibels Siren Pain and ear injury
140-150 decibels Firecrackers Pain and ear injury
