balance - biological system that enables individuals to know where their bodies are in the environment and to maintain a desired position; normal balance depends on information from the labyrinth in the inner ear, and from other senses such as sight and touch, as well as from muscle movement.
balance disorder - disruption in the labyrinth, the inner ear organ that controls the balance system allowing individuals to know where their bodies are in the environment.
noise-induced hearing loss - hearing loss that is caused either by a one-time or repeated exposure to very loud sound(s) or sounds at various loudness levels over an extended period of time.

 The Balance Wheel
The seven jewels required are used as follows: one for the balance wheel roller jewel, two jewels for the pallet (or lever), two jewels to restrain the balance wheel, and two cap jewels for the balance wheel staff.
Cap jewels limit the end shake of the balance wheel, and allow a conical pivot to be used for the balance staff, which minimizes friction and MAXIMIZES the strength of the staff as it eliminates a sharp corner.
The balance wheel can be used to keep time because of the physics of the periodic motion of a rotary device attached to a spring.

 BILATERAL VESTIBULAR LOSS
Optokinetic afternystagmus is abolished in significant bilateral vestibular loss (Hain and Zee, 1991).
While balance is poorer than normal, given that normal vision and sensation in the feet and ankles is present, most patients with bilateral loss appear, at least on casual inspection, to have normal gait.
To some extent this return to "normal" is related to aging of peers as normally vestibular function declines with age, and bilateral vestibular loss most often is diagnosed in persons in their 50's through 70's.

 Hybrid (Cash Balance) Pension Plans
A 1998 survey by the Society of Actuaries found that in cash balance conversions, the average benefit reduction for an older employee was 70% to 85% of one year's wages, but younger workers saw a benefit increase of 10% to 40% of one year's wages.
It would require employers that convert to cash balance plans to allow employees who are at least age 40 or have at least 10 years of service the choice to remain under their traditional pension formula until retirement instead of switching to cash balance.
It would not apply unless the participant was entitled to a subsidized early retirement benefit under the terms of the old plan formula at the time the participant took his or her benefit under the converted plan (whether the participant first qualified for the subsidized early retirement benefit before or after the conversion).

 Neuropathy Linked With Loss of Balance
"The tandem-stand balance test provides the clearest evidence of this effect because it is impaired only in patients with neuropathy, [it] correlates with neurologic function, and it is not affected by the aging process.
The decline in nerve function, he added, correlated most strongly with loss of lower extremity strength and the loss of the ability to do a tandem stand.
"People like that should be strongly encouraged to do balance training and strength training," he advised; "and that's not a very complicated thing to do, because earlier studies showed that older people can still improve their balance and strength with a little bit of training.

 Balance Control: NeuroCom International - Patient Information
Balance is vital to normal every day life activities such as getting out of a chair and walking, bending over to put your shoes on, washing your hair, driving a car or going grocery shopping.
Ability to maintain balance is a complex process that depends on three major components: (1) your sensory systems for accurate information about your body's position relative to your environment; (2) your brain's ability to process this information; and (3) your muscles and joints for coordinating the movements required to maintain balance.
It is not uncommon for individuals with a history of balance problems to regain their balance control through accurate diagnosis followed by specific medical treatment and/or rehabilitation exercises.

 Protect Your Balance System—Or Else . . .
This balance information allows your brain to continuously make little adjustments in muscle activity and body position to allow you to stand upright and maintain your balance.
Even so, you may lose your balance or stagger when turning quickly (whole body or head only), and need to hold on to walls or furniture when you are walking.
Since it is your major balance system, if you lose your vestibular system, your brain has to rely on the other two systems.

 Hair loss and dry skin in perimenopause and menopause
Thinning hair or hair loss in women at this age is often due to a drop in estrogen in comparison to testosterone, which may not decrease at the same rate.
The result is a net excess of testosterone, contributing to hair loss on the head and hair growth in unwanted areas.
However, other causes of hair loss, such as elevated stress hormones and many other systemic imbalances, are not so transient, so they are important to address.

If you think you have a hearing loss, you should see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor, commonly referred to an an ENT, for a hearing test to determine the cause and whether or not it is permanent or temporary.
There are many causes of tinnitus, such as wax against the ear drum, middle ear infections, otosclerosis (fixation of the stapes or stirrup bone), presbycusis (hearing loss with age), Meniere's syndrome (a problem affecting both the hearing and balance), and acoustic neuroma (small, rare tumor of the acoustic nerve).
Despite the fact that hearing loss is the most common medical problem in the general population, there are only a few insurance carriers which cover part of the cost of hearing aids.

The nutritional strategy that kicks fat loss into high gear might be considered a trick, but if implemented carefully into an overall program, it's a trick that can have lasting and thrilling results.
Protein is the most thermic nutrient, but you want to make certain you also consume a balance of complex carbs for energy, fiber for optimal digestion, and essential fats for optimal health.
was created specifically as an aid for those applying this fat loss "trick." While it can be used as a delicious protein powder at any time, it has only 9 grams of carbs (to be used for the "work" of digestion) and 32 grams of highly thermic protein in a serving.

 Definition: hybrid balance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
hybrid balance: An expression of the degree of electrical symmetry between two impedances connected to two conjugate sides of a hybrid set or resistance hybrid.
Note 1: Hybrid balance is usually expressed in dB.
Note 2: If the respective impedances of the branches of the hybrid that are connected to the conjugate sides of the hybrid are known, hybrid balance may be computed by the formula for return loss.
