The following w c b m program has been prerecorded at this time. This is Talk Radio 680 w. C.b.s. It's time for a few minutes with audiology associates where silence is not golden And good morning and Jeff Michaels on talk radio 680 w c b m And now that Sunday morning mid morning good morning Dr Melissa say again good morning it's good to see likewise so early yes why don't we do this or early to morning because morning very gets alarmed as I would that he thank you I'm glad you cleared that up yes so let's talk about here. During evaluation yes who gets them who doesn't get them I know a few people who don't get it right I don't know my looking at anyone I may not know I know I know I'm really not you and you know the big question is why should somebody get to her evaluated Yeah I mean I think you know it's really important because big tech get her eyes tested we get her teeth cleaned and teeth looked at we had our blood pressure checked we're physicals yet we kind of ignore hearing and it's really it's one of our 5 senses and can you imagine what life would be like if we didn't have that you're so it's really important I think expression if you have a family history of hearing loss a history of noise exposure or any ringing or tennis in your ears you hear any history of dizziness history of your infections even as a child these are reasons that it's a good idea to get a baseline in our hearing threshold so even if treatments not warranted there's kind of 2 sides to what we do here there's the medical component which is let's do one of medical evaluation and see make sure the system is healthy and functioning well and then there's the treatment side of the treatment so we certainly go through different options if it's wax we take your x. Out if there is hearing loss we'll talk about hearing it options check your insurance to see if there's a benefit which most people don't even aren't even aware that their insurance company may have one so we look into all that for you when you come in so coming in for a hearing a valuation is so much more than I need a hearing aid it's let's make sure the system is healthy and functioning appropriately and if it's not let's talk about options that are available and why those may be appropriate right now in your life and maybe they're not and you mention Tim it is another big problem with a lot of people yeah a lot of people have tinnitus and it's calls from you know the number one reason we have tinnitus is hearing loss because if the brain isn't getting the stimulation it thinks it needs it so it's going to create it right then like a phantom limb use a foot but you still feel pain in the foot even though it's not there we have hair cells in the Coakley of that are damaged and they're not responding appropriately to stimulation and that's why the tinnitus presents itself so just by sometimes getting hearing aids when we have hearing loss you're killing 2 birds with one stone because you're going to be treating the hearing loss as well as a tentative So you're really going to be getting a lot of benefit from those devices 429443100 that's to get hold of but Dr Melissa Segador Newsweek also a great website Hey I audiology dot com More with tinnitus. A ringing in someone's ear and I know how annoying it can be I know a lot of people have it and probably one of the easiest things to correct yeah I mean it's easy in the sense that we know why it's there and we if you come in for an evaluation we really can kind of put our finger on tape is most likely this reason and then we can focus on the reason and hopefully that in itself is a treat that there's no cure for tinnitus and I think that can be very frustrating for patients but knowing may have some control maybe in their diet maybe a hearing aid maybe through other apps that there are that are available or sound generators that we can talk about so we really try and focus on is it a medication when did it start there is it exacerbated by certain factors in your life so we know certain things that can make the candidates worse and then we can talk about ways to alleviate that I we're going to take a quick break when we do come back let's talk about how for to protect you from getting worse perfect again 419443102 get hold of Dr malicious I get going week great website hey hey audiology dot com I'm Jeff Michaels on talk radio 680 w c b m will be back. Things upon. First. Time as you. Would like. To. See. Her. Was cut. Out. For the ology associates with locations in eastern and Baltimore called fortune and poor for free 104 channel one for poor 3140 all of the associates where Charlotte is not gold it. Was. Oh. So. You talk radio 680 w c b m I'm Jeff Michaels along with Dr Melissa Segun from all the ologies shows here Sunday morning we're talking about getting your hearing evaluated one thing actually 2 things want to talk about how to protect your hearing from getting worse and a number 2 what deters people the most from wearing hearing aids because I'm sure you must get that all the time too so one way we can protect our hearing from getting worse is to really try and limit factors that we know make hearing more so if you're going to be around noise even using a lawnmower if you're shooting. It anything that can have a lot of noise when you can wear your protection and it really does make a difference even the $1.50 pack of yellow buds you buy at the local drugstore is going to have a huge impact and attenuating the sound and less damage to our hearing Morgan. If you are a hunter or shooter you can certainly look they're pretty reasonable you know plugs you can always get custom made ones they have over the counter ones and as long as they are inserted properly they work really well Ok so that's really a huge factor in keeping us healthy I mean we know smoking causes hearing loss so obviously no smoking. And just keeping ourself healthy any heart problems can cause hearing loss so in general there's a lot of factors but if you just live a healthy lifestyle you'll do yourself a favor with your hearing and what it means somebody comes in to get the hearing Chad and then you tell him this is what you may need yet this is what you definitely need what the Ters them from following through and getting this yet if they need a hearing device what deters him from where I think the biggest thing is I think you know patients think that they're very expensive and they are they're literally laptop computers at us teeny teeny in each year but over the life of the hearing aid which is about 5 to 7 years you're really paying it a couple hours a day which is less than a cup of coffee so pretty reasonable there and insurance and insurance will take care of it in most cases you got it so we do have a lot of patients depending on those their insurance company what they do provide some sort of monetary. If it maybe not the entire cost but part of it and even if it's a little bit there's actually hearing it available so the hearing aids started a few $100.00 and then they go up because some people really do like technology and all the features they have to offer so there's something out there for everyone and really the most important. Thing to remember in the treatment process is that any treatment is better than none so you're as long as we're giving you know when we get treat hearing loss or really treating the brain and giving it stimulation so any time you're going to give the brain back sound it's going to be happy it's just the other bells and whistles in the hearing aid that make life easier but that doesn't mean you're not going to be very very successful and lesser technology and can you put a percentage on how many people need to hear in devices as opposed to what as long as you have hearing loss in both ears 100 percent of people need to hearing it Ok so the only time you would ever get one hearing aid is if you only have hearing loss and that he or the other ear is not eatable But if you have hearing loss in both ears you never want to walk around with just one because the other side will be missing a lot of information and you won't do well so I often tell my patients they say I'm going to get one I'll say one come back when you're ready for 2 because I want help you know you just won't do well and you're actually doing yourself a disservice for 194 for 3149 for for 3100 or. Audiology dot com or call Dr Melissa if you haven't any kind of problems if you have tinnitus a time to get that treated if you need hearing device time to walk into an office and get out there on don't put it off any longer it's a painless painless thing to do that's right and I think Dr list is the person for the job Yeah thank you technology is such now too and we talk about technology it's very easy to get fit with a device it is and they they really are it's very easy to get that with devices they carry you receive is really it's excessive the hearing aid so no matter what level of technology you get We're happy to help and just make your life that much easier so again for 10000 for for 3149 for for 3100 to get hold of Dr lists from all the l.g. Associates heyday I audiology dot. Not going to be no locations around the area yeah Easton to to mo mo mo money and that's right and everything in between so today's the day you get your hearing checked yet you know make believe you're going for a physical and it's just part of the physical and one off in your position where for you say you know have you been struggling to hear it maybe it's time then and most people around her 5th decade of life will start to notice struggling in background you're in more than anything else and that's when it's good to have a baseline and be nice to hear the t.v. Without turning it up real down that's right 419443100 documents always thank you so much we'll see you back next week on Jeff Michaels on talk radio 680 w c b m. O. U. S. So tell. Us. What the following w c b m programme has been recorded at this time in defense of truth is sponsored by the called the hill Bible Presbyterian church the opinions heard on this program are not necessarily those w c b m radio. Which I'm now all for truth from Baltimore Maryland daily commentary on the news as it happens in the light of God's prophetic words now here with this challenge for Christian Americans to defend Faith and Freedom is a bit loose your. Christian greetings to one and all this is Reverend David lowish with in defense of truth the radio ministry and the Cabell Bible Presbyterian church in Baltimore Maryland saying God bless each and every one of you again The Lord. It has given us another day he and he alone has made it he and he alone has brought you through to it and he will providentially work through this universe that he created as he looks to bring about his great plan of redemption for us to our Gentile and also for the nation of Israel as he will soon turn his attention completely to them we are getting closer and closer to these end of days I've been doing a study here a church a Bible study on Sunday mornings on The Book of Revelation where into Chapter 13 now and getting a good look at who the anti-Christ is but there is a mot that we've seen already that really kind of resonates with who we are in this day and age you see so many things going on and you just wonder does this have anything to do with what the Bible hasta saying of course. Everything we're a study in has to do with what the Bible hasta say because God has a great plan and he will bring it to fruition you bring it to completion his will is going to be done I know we get wrapped up we think it's all about OSs even Christian people we have a tendency to look at the person in the mirror and think it's all about them and we seek our will even if it's in opposition to what God's will is for us and of course his will is always better you see God sees the big picture we don't we are looking at our lives from inside this time bubble in which we live we are on a space time continuum and of course God is out there in eternity and sees things from a much different for sure. More but a much better perspective as well and so as we look around us and we see all the things that are happening we wonder just how close might we be to these times that we read about in the Book of Revelation I have no idea of we're not date setters we're not even good guessers cept to say that each day that you turn the counter over of course you're one day closer to the end of recorded time and there are things that have gone on throughout history that have short of pointed us closer and closer to that direction we think certainly the return of Israel to statehood back in 1048 as was prophesied in the scriptures and now you see a lot of the jockeying for position if you will over in the Middle East of course every time somebody seems to line up something comes along of a geo political nature and changes to focus and then you have to realign the players again but I do think that the players are on the stage so to speak the curtain still has not come up yet but they are getting themselves organized if you will or rather God is He is the great choreographer he moves us all around and he gets us where he needs us to be it's it's he who appoints the leaders the Kings as the Bible refers to them you can certainly buy stenches say the presidents the prime ministers what have you and he puts them in place and he turns them he turns their hearts as he turns the rivers of water and of course we read about that and salvage proverbs So it sort of hot out there to think about because there's a lot out there that's going on and of course you've had in our lifetime. Pretty much and in our lifetime I'm speaking from my point of view but you've had the advent of nuclear weaponry and now other something coming on the scene which I find rather fascinating of course we could all have a large part to play in these and time battles that the Bible speaks of but what I'm speaking of in layman's terms are robots they call it the more not the scientific name but more preferred name in those circles is called artificial intelligence and of course it's where the human mind programs the computers but then the wonder is is the point going to come one day when the computers are smarter than we are wow I don't know maybe there's a little bit of science fiction blended in with that but they the fact remains more and more robots are in use today I was just at a friend's house a couple of weekends ago and he has a swimming pool in his backyard built in a swimming pool and I noticed something some contraption crawling across the bottom of the pool and up the sides and it had a big long. Cord if you will attached to it and it ran back towards the house where it was fogged in to the electrical unit and what this was basically was a water ice version of the little robot vacuum cleaners you seen people's homes I have a few friends with those as well and they just turn them on and they are programmed in such a way that they cover every square inch of the floor and a house in the case of the swimming pool covered every square inch of that and I've read that by the year 20244 out of 5 households will have at least one. Working robot doing something that people are currently doing right now I also see where the fast food industry has basically answered this minimum wage to $15.00 minimum wage that several of the cities around the country are promising their fast food employees and they've answered him by saying that's fine you can make the minimum wage whatever you want we're just not going to hire real people anymore we're going to put kiosks in the center of the restaurant and we basically are going to run this thing by machine and so you come in and you'll tap the screen and you'll place your order and things will be prepared in the back somewhere there may be a few people but not nearly the staff that they that they have right now and they will save money and perhaps the service will even be better I don't know but the point is it's not the fact that the robots are coming the robots are here so you wonder where does that all fit and I don't know that I actually see that in Scripture although there are many verses in Revelation that are not especially clear as far as the meaning and so the Lord has left that there for us to to think about and to mull over we don't need to know all the specifics anyway the fact in a matter is if you are trusting in the Lord if you're trusting in Christ as your Lord and Savior to get you to heaven when you die within my goodness let's understand that lots of things can happen here on this earth in the mean time that we're not going to be able to figure out but still we will get from point a to point b. God will bring us some longer so just a note if you will on some of those things that certainly grabbed my attention and I know those of you who follow the news. Closely you see these stories as well but what I want to talk about quickly and briefly is the big event we are having here on Monday September 11th for those of you hearing this broadcast today Sunday the 10th you understand it that is tomorrow that is what is known in many circles as Patriot Day but it is certainly the remembrance of the attack on our soil by the Islamist terrorists back on September 11th or 911 of 2001 so here we are the 16th anniversary if you will of that coming up already and we would like to put the invitation out to one and all of your nearby if you're in the Baltimore area or surrounding area to me I count local is being down in Washington d.c. Up in York Pennsylvania over and over Delaware March birdwatcher Genya and anywhere we can get here in a couple of hours to me that's a local because I can get Chad here by $930.00 Monday night you'll be home in bed by midnight and so it's is it worth it of course it is because we are going to feature a couple of speakers who you really don't want to miss William Federer our good friend Bill has been in here several years now I think this is the 6th year with us he does something called the American minute comes out online each and every day if you don't subscribe to that you should know cost and you will get a short blurb if you will of what went on on this day in history in our nation and it is quite factual and always a joy to read. And so Bill will be here speaking as well Mr James Simpson and Jim is an investigative reporter he's here a local Bill Federer's down in Virginia Beach area but Jim Simpson is a local and he is the author of the red green axis and of course that is a book that really gets into the attempts that are being made on the refugee front the illegal immigration front in fact the entire agenda if you will that is setting out to erase America and don't think that people are not trying to do that they certainly are now you want to latest so on side the Scriptures I don't see the us of a anywhere in the scriptures I know some people will read a passage about it and Eagle or eagle's wings and say wait a minute now that's the symbol of America so that must be what you're talking about well if if you read about a bear. And I believe David killed a bear do you do you then think of Russia this is the emblem of Russia isn't it the giant bear of Russia and then you have the Mayan which is the symbol of Great Britain well as out what the Lord was speaking of no I don't see that if you do and it's clear to you let me know and I will take a look at it but I don't think America is necessarily going to be here when the and comes you can certainly look around is that the America that you knew growing up no it is not there have been a lot of changes made internally and from x. Terminal factors as well but please come out Monday September 11th 7 pm right here and because Bill Bible Presbyterian Church we are in the park area. Baltimore ne County area come out and join us for a couple of hours we will have patriotic music we'll have some other special guests to introduce to you and Bill and Jim both will have some other things that they have written available afterwards for your purchase if you care to and so I just want to make sure I get one last advertisement in for that we look forward to that every year we will be outside unless the weather does not cooperate and that point we will certainly move it into the sanctuary we have plenty of room in there and we will go indoors for it but it's always nice if you can do it under the stars the setting sun this time of year and in the moonlight and it certainly makes a statement we are in the corner of a busy road and people will see us there and wonder perhaps what's going on let's stop and and take a look and they are more than welcome to do that and so again join us if you are able God and Country service here at Hill Now I also want to take a look at the issues that are going on in our country today so much of it involves people attacking one another it's a terrible thing if you think about it the way mankind has treated each other well it goes back to the Garden of Eden it goes back to Cain killing his brother Abel. And they found ways they kind of found ways 30 years very creative ways of killing their fellow brothers and it is just amazing never ceases to amaze me what people come up with but in response to man's. Continued assaults on his fellow man I think we really only need to take a look at what God's word has to say you really don't need to go any further than the Bible and of course we read in Scripture that God is no respecter of persons in other words God doesn't care who you are he doesn't care where you came from your nationality doesn't matter to him your family lineage doesn't matter doesn't matter that you had a rich uncle or even a famous uncle that doesn't matter neither does the color of your skin matter to God there's no white privilege black privilege Brown privilege pick a color and none of it matters to God In fact he doesn't even care what church you attend How about that what matters o.e. Is whether or not you are righteous or whether you are a sinner Now of course one is in complete opposition to the other you're a sinner you basically are dead in your sins and if your righteous it means you have had the righteousness of Christ imputed to you because of what he did on the cross and that your sins are forgiven so that's all God is looking for he's looking for a difference between the center and the one who is righteous or the center saved by grace the goats into sheep if you want to break it down even further the progress of a laugh however in our country today doesn't look at things should a lens of scripture know they could care less about scripture they could care less about God or His Word you know that as well as I do they simply target those with whom they disagree and then through any means necessary they seek to undermine and destroy their place in the fabric of our nation society let's root them out let's target a group and paint that. Group with a particular brush not a good one and then let's root them out what we're seeing in the violent events that are taking place throughout our land really has nothing to do with statues or slaves or even the Civil War Instead it seems to be the systematic destruction of our nation and its people and I alluded to that earlier as I was giving the advertisement for our $911.00 service and I mention the book to read Green atch this that Jim Simpson has written about many groups and their effort their agenda if you will to erase America and so this is going on we hear about the deep state we hear about draining the swamp we hear about the shadow government all the things that we're really we never heard about too many years ago did we but now that we have someone in office as president who is not a politician and that is one of the best things he has going for me however he's up against 3rd politicians whose main purpose in life is to do what what is the main purpose of a politician well it's to get reelected and they don't want anybody to stand in their way they have a gravy job and they don't want to lose that to anyone or anything so this is where we find ourselves and you know I don't know what the future holds for America again I spoke a bit earlier on this broadcast talking about the fact that I don't see clearly that our nation is anywhere in Scripture in prophecy and so I don't know what what the Lord has in store for us but I do know that God will rightfully judge each and every one of us on our relationship with Jesus Christ he won't judge us on our association with one another you know that's not going to stand up now is it good to treat your fellow man in a good way obviously Absolutely. But that's not getting you to heaven you know that falls into the good works category and that's not going to get you to heaven or Joey one way to get they have an edge trusting on the shed blood of Jesus Christ that that blood is sufficient it is factual to cleanse you of your sins in fact when God put them a great plan of redemption in place the solution to the sin problem was the body of Christ and he knew that he would have to come to this earth God himself in the flesh in the person of Jesus Christ and shed his sinless perfect blood on behalf of us and so it is only that blood then that effectively cleanse us from sin so don't show up at the pearly gates without the blood of Christ you're not getting in you have to have the bought a cry such all God is looking for if he sees it you're in if he doesn't see you're not it it's I may be oversimplifying it but I'm trying to give you a visual so that you will clearly understand that in order to go to heaven you must be saved you must be what do we mean by that we must be saved from your sins and the only thing that same's you from your sins is that cleansing agent which washes them away and we in fact to trust in Christ as our Lord and Savior are indeed washed in the blood and so there you go it's a simple gospel message it's so simple that people either miss it they don't understand it they want to make it more difficult everybody wants to make it more difficult because everybody wants to do something don't pay and do something we don't have to accept to vote Eve on the ward Amen Now if I have a few minutes here and I see that I have a couple minutes left yet I do want to speak on a subject that. It is making its rounds through the different states of our nation you know there's a great effort in force 2 or in place to defund Planned Parenthood Planned Parenthood of course they are the number one abortion provider in the nation and there is an effort to defund it at the federal level but that effort has stalled that effort continues to meet with resistance or you know how the feds or you just look at how they are reacting to all the changes that our president wants to make but there has been recent legal and legislative victories given to the states the individual states and fact giving those states more power than ever before to cut off taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood again a nation's largest abortion provider except here in Maryland now it's going on and in many other states I believe the article I read the other day said South Carolina was the most recent one but only 16 states are considering legislation that would take Planned Parenthood off of the taxpayer go. Here in Maryland. President Obama put an order in that prevented States from withholding federal funding from Planned Parenthood you know President Obama put a lot of orders and then the this whole Dhaka. Problem that we have right now that was a government policy that was put in effect by President Obama not by the Congress there who want to make the law and only and not the president and not to Supreme Court they've been known overstepped their boundaries as well but it's up to Congress to make the laws and so. Mr Obama had put an order in that had prevented the stay. From withholding federal funding from Planned Parenthood but now that has been rescinded and now the individual states can make their own decision whether or not they want to fund Planned Parenthood except here in Maryland now you're you catching a common theme here in this news item that I'm giving you Mary Hogan the governor of Maryland the Republican governor of Maryland continues to frustrate the pro-life crowd here as he puts on his rhino costume rhino for those of you who may not understand some of the terminology are I and know it stands for Republican in name only and he puts on his rhino outfit and he does his best in person ation of being a Democrat and he's been doing that since he's been in office and I know he's pandering to the states large Democrat be elation I don't have the numbers in front of me but I think it's something on the order of 2 to one Democrats to Republicans in the state of Maryland. And as a Republican he got elected and so he did so because he got a lot of Democrat vote because he panders to them and of course the large Democrat population in Maryland and anywhere else really. And I'm going to catch a little bit of flak for this and that's fine call me write to me knock on the church door it doesn't matter I've talked to you but I believe that the Democrats generally speaking Democrats as a whole the Democrat platform if you will has and for years has contained in it a plank that favors killing babies and show if you are a Democrat you may be pro-life I don't know I don't know that that I can imagine or is that many of them they they would be Democrat if they were because they certainly don't have the backing of their party if they're pro-life but again people do whatever they need to do we have found out in order to get reelected and I believe that for Mr Hogan is on this subject maybe he loves babies I don't know but I do know he would like to be reelected and so he will pander to the base that is the largest in the state somehow though I don't think Mr Hogan is political aspirations matter all that much to the one who created those kids who are being aborted. What do we read in the proverbs about those things that God hates the shedding of innocent blood the hands that shed innocent blood boy if that's not speaking to the abortion industry I don't know what is so anyway I don't think Ram Mr overage political aspirations matter all that much to the Lord and the Lord is the one to which all of us gov Ogun include it will have to one day answer and so pray for the governor you know in fact we should pray for all of our leaders we should pray for all people in power the decisions they make will in fact affect each and every one of us we should pray for it and the Lord even thousands to pray for our enemies and I think there are Americans dead I would put in the camp as being an enemy of our country because are trying to change it they are trying to tear down the judeo christian standard on which this nation was built because they don't want to have anything to do with the Lord they are secular humanist from the word go that's their religion and that is the Bible they're going to follow the Humanist Manifesto and so to me they may say they're Americans they might. Paint themselves red white and blue by their enemies as far as I'm concerned because they are coming against my Lord but we're told to pray for them aren't we and I'll tell you what I've said this a number of times if you look at some of these politicians on the meth some of these very. Strong opinionated very emotional get a lot done and full of energy types that are liberal and really against all of the things that we are for my goodness if they would get saved and. Come over to our side imagine what good could be done imagine people like that after spreading the gospel message because they are excited for the Lord now instead of for all their causes up to this point and so we should pray for all because all of us need prayer you need it I need it and we certainly solicit it from you every opportunity we get so again it's just a joy to be behind a microphone each and every week with all of you and we pray that that Lord continues to bless you and we pray that the ward continues to use you as long as you're still here on earth he is not done with you yet I don't care how old you are what shape you're in there's something you can do to be a witness for toward to show your testimony for your lord and savior so God will ask you again tomorrow night is the $911.00 service come if you can otherwise you will be back again next time and tell then keep looking up.
