Overview

Hearing Loss
Hearing Loss is a partial or complete inability to hear sounds and can affect one or both ears.
Hypertension
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic condition in which the force of blood against artery walls remains consistently elevated. Over time, uncontrolled hypertension can damage the heart, kidneys, brain, eyes, and blood vessels. Because it often develops without obvious symptoms, it is commonly called the silent killer.
