Episode notes
Protect Ears From Loud Noise
- Protect your ears from loud sounds and get a baseline hearing test if you notice changes like muffled speech or ringing.
- Use earplugs (filtered or foam) and keep phone volume at about 60% to reduce risk of noise-induced hearing loss.
Screens Strain Eyes, Not Blue Light
- Digital eye strain mostly comes from reduced blinking and prolonged near focus, not blue light damage to the retina.
- Practice the 20-20-20 rule and spend more time outside to relax eyes and reduce myopia risk.
Brush Right And See Your Dentist
- See your dentist regularly and focus on brushing technique: 45-degree angle, two minutes per quadrant, twice daily, and floss once a day.
- Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months and treat oral health as linked to overall health.
