Incontinence – How NOT to
Depend on Depends!
Wednesday, January 29, 10 a.m., CCAN
Hosted by: Central Texas Urogynecology & Continence
Center / AMS
Purchase your $1 ticket online or at the Member Services Office
Howmany times have you postponed playing golf with your friends,
avoided dancing at a wedding or rejected an invitation to start a
fun exercise class like zumba? Let me ask you this: How often do
you think about the restroom as soon as you enter a restaurant?
By now, you have probably memorized the location of all the rest-
rooms at the mall… And how many times you just can’t make it
in time to the bathroom?
Women don’t need to struggle with embarrassing urine leakage;
just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean you have to live with
the frustration of urinary incontinence! Suggesting that urinary
incontinence is a normal part of aging is like saying that cancer
always happens when you get old. That’s just not true.
Join Dr. Cristina Saiz to learn about the causes and latest treat-
ments for urinary incontinence. You CAN overcome incontinence!
There are very effective treatment options for this prevalent con-
dition.
Dr Saima Jehangir will also be talking about the benefits of tes-
tosterone supplementation for women.
MAXUM Hearing Implant Seminar
Wednesday, January 29, 11 a.m., CCW
Hosted by: Ototronix
Purchase your $1 ticket online or at the Member Services Office
If you or someone you know wears hearing aids, you know it
can still be a struggle to hear clearly, especially in groups or
noisy places. While hearings aids have always been considered
the only treatment option for hearing loss, now a new technol-
ogy breaks through the limitations! The MAXUM hearing
implant provides crisper, clearer sound and improved speech
understanding.
TheMAXUM implant is a very small titaniumdevice implanted
in the middle ear behind the ear drum, combined with a sound
processor worn discreetly in the ear canal. Using electromagnetic
energy to move the implant, the inner ear is directly stimulated
resulting in increased audibility and clearer, more natural
sound. The outpatient procedure is performed under local an-
esthetic in about 30-40 minutes.
Dr. Michael E. Glasscock III will be presenting the latest infor-
mation on hearing implant technology in the Jarrell/Walburg
Room on January 29, 2014. As a world renowned ear surgeon
and a patient with hearing implants himself, Dr. Glasscock
shares his experiences with hearing aids and implants. Whether
it is hearing the laughter of children or friends in a restaurant,
taking that step to improve your hearing is a step in the right
direction.
