HINT Testing, Hearing in Noise Technology
The HINT system is the latest technology to allow us to accurately evaluate your real hearing capabilities. One of the most
frustrating aspects of hearing loss is the inability to clearly engage in conversation when background noise prevents the
clear understanding of the spoken word. How many times have you found it necessary to ask a question multiple times due to
the effects of noise ? Consider the average restaurant or other public environment where noise is endemic. By going to the
next step in hearing evaluation the HINT system allows for a competent comprehensive evaluation of your real ability to hear
and comprehend speech. The system is fully computerized and takes a short time to perform the hearing test. Unlike many other
testing techniques, spoken sentences are used, not just tones. With the newly documented herbal/vitamin combinations showing
positive changes in ones's hearing, why not take advantage of a great opportunity to make certain that your valuable sense
of hearing is not in decline ?
Arterial Doppler: Checking your arteries non-invasively
Our 5 and 3 MHz Doppler ultrasound will painlessly evaluate and indicate if your arteries are clogged. It's estimated that
one in four American adults have some degree of arterial or venous disease. Curiously 4 out of 5 patients with clogged arteries
are symptom free.
The level of obstruction in your leg vessels directly relates to your heart vessels. Those at risk for having an obstruction
include patients who are:
Sixty years or older
A Smoker
A Diabetic
Overweight
Having High Cholesterol
Having High Blood Pressure
Inactive
Or Having A Family History of heart attacks or strokes
Symptoms of arterial occlusive disease can include: pain, numbness or tingling in the toes and or fingers, swelling, sores
that do not heal, limited walking or activity due to pain in the legs, or dizziness.
If you have one or more of the above risks, why not find out now if your longevity is being threatened ? Call us to schedule
an exam.
Cardiocheck: Single lead EKG
The Cardiocheck is a simple hand held device, that we have been testing for a number of months. It accurately presents two
important electrical findings, in approximately 10 seconds, along with your pulse. This simple monitor is now being used routinely
to detect any electrical heart irregularities, as a no cost screening for all our patients. To date it has helped identify
a number of patients unaware of their irregular heart rhythms.
Cognometer ™;: Insight into your brain function
The Cognometer™ is a well researched clinical tool for the evaluation of your memory, computing power and clarity of
your thinking abilities. By playing game like sessions, the Congnometer™ can accurately evaluate your current and changing
mind function. This is an excellent instrument to give you insight into your current status and to evaluate any changes with
life style and/or medications. How many times have you wondered if you are feeling "sharper" or otherwise ? Consider this
comfortable private testing anytime you have doubts regarding your mental abilities. Currently we are in the process of evaluating
individuals who have any member of their family experiencing Alzheimers or other mental function diseases. This will give
them a good idea if they too are at risk. In Texas the Cognometer is being used to evaluate ADD and ADHD youngsters with amazing
accuracy. Call the Center of Health™ for additional information.
CardioVision™;: Non-invasive Arterial Evaluation
The CardioVision™ device allows our office to perform a 10 Minute evaluation. It is similar to taking your blood pressure,
and determines the flexibility of your vessels. Additionally, irregularities of the heart beat are also recorded. The information
is further correlated with the Framingham 10 year health risk information database.The Center of Health's™ current limited
study of our in clinic results, suggests a very high correlation accurately, in the evaluation of arteriosclerosis. This new
insight into your heart and vessels can give you an accurate evaluation of your cardiac health and risks. A recent study in
Geriatrics and Gerontology International found the technology accurate for older individuals.
Ozone Labs™ UV Instrument: Blood Irradiation with UV Light
The use of blood irradiation with ultraviolet light was popularized 10 years ago by Dr. William Campbell Douglas in his book
"Into the Light". The application of irradiating blood with light has been utilized for 50 years. We recently added a three
tube Ozone Labs™ irradiation device. The applications, at this time, are specific to viral infections. Hepatitis patients
can benefit from this 30 minute treatment by a reduction in their viral load. The therapy is via IV and little or no side
effects are noted, unlike conventional treatment with interferons .
