With your LFT. You are above your ideal body weight, which could be a contributing factor to your fatty liver. Fatty liver is a 'finding' and not a diagnosis by itself. Reversibility, cirrhosis all depends on the underlying diagnosis. If it is just obesity associated, it should be reversible. | |

Any corrections are welcome since even none of us in the family knew what actually happened in his case and what was the cause - Since my grandad was non alcoholic. We just know the timeline of events. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hello there, Modern days digital programming hearing aids can help you with your problem regarding being able to listen to music i.e. a wide range of frequencies. It would be great if you could post your PTA graphs and Impedence graphs so that we can have an idea of the quantity and quality of your hearing loss. If your loss is not much or involves limited frequencies even a CIC or IIC type from a reputed brand could be wonders. |

Now I want to try out this digital 3 channel, 5 channel etc hearing aids but am afraid it may be another waste of money, considering a 5 channel cost close to a lakh. Will it be useful for me? What points should i considering while evaluating a digital hearing aid? | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hello Guite, you could visit a reputed hearing clinic which provide trials of hearing aids for a month on nominal fees. This way you dont have to buy it if it doesn't work out for you. Ask for a trial for a month and see if the 5 channel is worth it for you. Last edited by GTO : 25th August 2016 at 09:40.

BHPian | ![]() Hi I am looking for a good GP in R.T.Nagar, Bangalore. We have visited a couple of GPs, but they have not provided the confidence in their treatment. Overdosing seems to be a key problem even for a minor infection. I would prefer someone with a lot of experience and who comes from the old school of thought of less medicines and more self help routines. Do let me know |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() can you please recommend an electric toothbrush in the local market I see Oral-B Oower Brush and Philips SonicCare while OralB Power Brush is highly affordable but the replacement head seems to be an issue on the other hand, Philips Sonic Care has a great range but steeply priced and the replacement heads also no cheap one of the option is to get the supplies from the US but I don't think that model will sustain in long term please help with your views |

I have been using Oral-B for decades, but the price of the heads is horrendous. I increase the economy by using them for much longer than the manufacturers want me to. Like many best-before dates on food products, all the Oral-B colour coding and stuff is partly a ploy to get us to spend more. | ||

- Philips-Sonic is the leader with the Sonic technologywith, has a fantastic lineup and superb global reviews but also expensive - Oral-b has only 1 model, is cheap to buy, but heads availability is an issue, also the effectiveness compared to Sonic technology is lesser - Panasonic costs around 1200/- but it seems that the heads are not replaceable, and you need to buy a new unit every few months Quote:

| ![]() I am new to this too, and I am curious to know what others post and what you eventually end up with. I bought a couple of these a week ago -> BrushBuddies Smart Care Sonic Power Tooth Brush. One of the toothbrushes was DoA and so they are sending a replacement. Based on my usage, it does what it is supposed to do and I am happy with the results. However since I haven't used any other electric toothbrush I have no way of comparing. This is a no-frills toothbrush which uses (sonic) vibrations for cleaning. Inserting the battery was a headache. Replacement heads are available. BrushBuddies is a California-based company which sells in the US though the product is made in China. One good thing about their product is that you get it for roughly the same price as the US, which is saying a lot as most of the other electric toothbrushes cost many times their US price in India. I went through a bunch of reviews of Oral B and Philips, but none of them gave me any confidence, so I eventually ended up plonking my money on something which doesn't cost a bomb. |
