I Heard It Through the Grapevine: Hearing and health

Posted by Paula Scott on Thursday, July 18, 2024

On behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

I Heard It Through the Grapevine was first released by Motown Records on September 28, 1967.  It was recorded by Gladys Knight & the Pips. The second release was in August of 1968 by The Miracles, even though they were the first to record it in 1966.  The third release was by Marvin Gaye on October 30, 1968.  The Marvin Gaye version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998 and has been used in television commercials and movies. 

Why is hearing so important to our health?  

Hearing loss has been associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline, dementia and poor physical health. The National Institute on Aging reports a faster decline of memory and concentration in those individuals who have hearing losses without corrective devices compared to those with normal hearing. A Johns Hopkins study followed 639 adults over a 12-year period and found those with mild hearing loss were 2 times more likely to develop dementia compared to those with severe hearing loss, who were 5 times more likely.

Ohio’s 988 lifeline has responded to nearly 340K in two years

Posted by Staff on Wednesday, July 17, 2024

The State of Ohio has announced that two years after its debut, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a proven safety net for thousands of Ohioans each month who face emotional distress or thoughts of suicide.

Since its launch on July 16, 2022, the service has grown steadily. In that time, Ohio’s 19 call centers – the most of any state in the nation – have responded to nearly 340,000 calls, texts, and chats: an average of more than 14,000 contacts each month.

Ohio 988’s average speed-to-answer rate is 25 seconds, compared to 36 seconds nationally, and since its launch, the average amount of calls rolling over to the national 988 network is just 2%, reflecting a workforce capacity that allows the vast majority of calls from Ohioans to be answered in-state, by individuals with knowledge of local resources that can make a difference in a crisis.
