Did you know that Ronald Wilson Reagan, who served as president of the United States from 1981 to 88, wore hearing aids throughout his tenure and didn’t actually hear well?
He said he developed hearing loss in 1983 when a pistol was fired near his right ear.
In fact, there is a view that there has already been hearing loss since the previous governor’s days.
During his presidency, especially in noisy situations in helicopters, he couldn’t understand reporters’ questions quickly.
It’s famous that he used to move on with a bright smile instead of replying to the reporter’s questions to conceal the fact that he actually can’t hear well.
Reagan often dozed off during cabinet meetings.
One of the signs of dementia is constantly dozing off.
President Reagan, who has always been popular for being positive and optimistic, confessed to having Alzheimer’s dementia in 1994.
Reagan died of pneumonia in 2004 after suffering from Alzheimer’s for 10 years.
At the last moment, he looked at Nancy, his lifelong companion, with clear eyes full of love.
Nancy tells him that the look was the biggest gift she’s ever received in her life.
We have to wonder, through the story of President Reagan, whether hearing loss was the cause of his Alzheimer’s dementia.
In fact, according to recent studies, even slight hearing loss increases the risk of dementia by several times.
Recently, people have used Bluetooth earphones a lot on their smartphones, so young people often have mild hearing loss that they do not recognize.
If you leave it unattended, you are several times more likely to develop dementia in the future than the general population.
Active management is needed to “prevent” the progression of hearing loss and the occurrence of dementia even if there is only a little hearing loss that you do not recognize.
The most active treatment is to extract growth factors in the blood(PRP) and inject them into the ears to improve hearing.
The method, which uses platelet concentrate (PRP), has recently been applied to various fields such as infertility, visual impairment, skin, and joints.
Dr. Minbo Shim is the original technician who has a lot of experience and patents from studying the treatment of hearing loss and tinnitus using it.
I invented the ShimSPOT treatment using PRP and/or bone marrow-derived stem cells for recovery from hearing loss and tinnitus.
Many patients from all over the world, including the U.S., Peru, the U.K., and Russia, were treated by Dr. Shim.
Those who are already suffering from tinnitus and hearing loss, and those who are worried about dementia due to a slight hearing loss due to using earphones a lot can receive treatment and preventive help with this treatment.
