EOH 353 GLOBAL ENV HLTH

It was back in 1995 when I was tested and confirmed that I had hypertension, and the nurse recommended that I be admitted for several days to help reduce the glucose level in my body. I was admitted to St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. It was unfortunate that by then, the hospital was being expanded, and the contractor was in a hurry to complete the project within the established schedule. So there was noise very where within the hospital. Such noise negatively impacted my life because after some and contrary to my expectation, the nurse tested me and reported that my blood sugar level had increased, a case the nurse stated that was mostly contributed to the increased noise (Dobie & Humes, 2017). During the expansion of the hospital, the hospital kept on experiencing power blackouts as a result of the disruptions in the working site. So the hospital relied on the standby generator. I was also not lucky because I was admitted to the wing where the generator had been placed. According to the nurse, the disturbing noise from the generator impeded the flow of blood into the arteries of my body and worsened my condition.

I have my grandfather, who has lost hearing due to his old age. Loss of hearing as a result of old age mainly results because of changes in the parts of the ear, although in other cases, it can be a result of changes in the middle ear. Age-related hearing loss is a critical condition that demands a lot of attention from caregivers and healthcare professionals. In the United States, approximately one in every three individuals aged between 65 and 74 years has a hearing loss (Carroll et.al 2017). My grandfather is not able to hear phones as they ring, cannot apprehend, and adhere to medical instructions. Hence it has become difficult for him to enjoy life with his grandchildren and other family members. It is, therefore, necessary for people to avoid loud noise and prevent health complications.
