*By HealthGrades, a leading independent healthcare ratings company **By Thompson Reuters WHY DO I HEAR… BUT NOT UNDERSTAND? Study by Cambridge University in England Reveals Key Answer

Until recently, there was no practical way to identify dead regions of hearing cells in the ear. However, a new British-developed procedure using standard test equipment now allows for identifi - cation of dead hearing cell regions. The study suggests that the presence or absence of dead regions may have serious implica- tions in the fi tting of hearing aids. This research reveals that amplifying dead cells is a mistake which will result in poorer speech understanding in noise. A new type of digital programmable microcircuit is now available using nanoScience technology that can be programmed to bypass the dead cells. As a result, the patient’s usable hearing cells receive amplifi cation, thereby improving speech understanding in noise. “We are employing a like method in our diagnostic sound booths using a sound fi eld speech in noise procedure,” said Dr. Mel Grant of Audiology & Speech Pathology. “This test simulates hearing in a noisy crowd.

B9w will honor when he performs “Simply Sinatra” on Feb. 3 at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. “My first and most important connection is that I happen to love the music,” he says by phone from his home in Las Vegas. “The Ameri- can standards will be the American classics. I think 50 years from now, people will still be singing this music.” Mr. Lippia hails from Connecticut, where he grew up listening to his mother sing. But he lived for nine years in West Palm Beach.

How far would you go to showing limited range in dramatic roles prove your innocence? It’s feasible that such as “The Debt,” Worthington has many would rely on the justice system, established his niche as a handsome but when it doesn’t work as it should, face who can handle physical roles. No shame in that. Heck, Bruce Willis made a career out of it. But when a role calls for him to emote a bit more, such as in “Man On A Ledge,” both he and the movie struggle. Thankfully, Worthington’s lack of Streepness doesn’t keep us from enjoying “Ledge,” a successful caper with solid action and suspense. Worthington plays Nick Cassidy, an ex-cop convicted of stealing a diamond from real estate developer David Englander (Ed Harris). After getting in a fight with his brother Joey (Jamie Bell) at their father’s funeral, Nick escapes prison custody and soon finds his way high atop the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. It is here that the layers of writer Pablo Fenjves’ story come to the fore, and they are numerous and substantial.

Flowers. Chocolates. Flowers. Choc- olates. Must this Valentine’s Day be a repeat of all that have gone before? No. This year consider trying a new sweetie to brighten your sweetheart’s holiday. Instead of chocolates and flowers, surprise him or her with a great pairing of dessert and wine. Choosing the right wine for dessert is not difficult; you just need to balance the intensity, acidity and sweetness of the wine with the dessert. The more intense the flavors of the dessert, the more intense the flavors of the wine should be. The acidity of the wine and dessert should be harmoni- ous as well; if you have a fruit dessert, choose a wine with higher acidity. Finally, the wine needs to be sweeter than the dessert, otherwise the wine will taste dull and acidic. Stay away from desserts that are predominantly sugar; these go best with coffee or tea. There are several basic types or styles of dessert wines. The most popular involve late-harvested grapes, which result in more intense flavors has rose blossom aromas and litchi-like desserts or with almonds and almond in a dessert make an exceptional pair- and sweetness, specialty grape types flavors that go well with berry dishes desserts. ing with this sauternes. that produce pronounced flavors and or dark chocolates. ■ Riesling grapes: The finest Ger- ■ Dolce Napa Valley Late Har- aromas, or fortified wines such as ■ Sauvignon blanc and semillon man Rieslings are the late-harvested vest 2006 ($85/375ml): A classic sherry and port. grapes: The finest sauternes are made varieties that are designated spatlese blend of late harvest semillon and sau- When pairing wines with foods, you from late-harvested sauvignon and auslese, depending on the amount vignon blanc.
