When it comes to caring for your aging loved ones, 5 Star Home Care offers services and care to fit every need, especially those with Alzheimer's or dementia.

Selecting a hearing aid and hearing instrument provider can be a challenging feat. Public advertising is often confusing and contradictory for consumers. Becoming educated about modern hearing health care and hearing instruments allows you to make a more informed decision that will likely result in a better outcome.
The true difference between an audiologist and a dispenser is education. When assessing, diagnosing, intervening and treating hearing dysfunction and tinnitus, an audiologist has more training and expertise. To receive the best services and treatment available and ensure the best quality of life, an audiologist has the more extensive training, knowledge, understanding and experience, and those at Johnson Audiology are a great team that is ready to help.

As many people are wondering how much snow Chattanooga will see this winter, we cannot overlook the coming allergy season that will be here before we know it. Dr. Todd Levin at Chattanooga Allergy Clinic said that if you have taken a holiday from your allergy medications, now is the time to start taking them again so your body can be prepared.
"You certainly want to have everything started again by early February," he said. "If you see an allergist, do that, and if you've never seen one, it's important to get in and start getting tested, especially if you have noticeable symptoms."
Allergists and allergy testing can help predict what is going on with your body and determine the best course of treatment. Levin shared that allergy shots, or immunotherapy, are a great natural option to help cure patients of allergies, while medications and nasal sprays are good ways to help alleviate symptoms.
Chattanooga Allergy Clinic treats all types of allergic disorders and problems. It has eight locations and 11 providers. For more information about allergies or to find an office near you, visit chattanoogaallergyclinic.com or call 423-899-0431.
