Mediaplanet Teams up with Healthcare Professionals to Increase Awareness of Treatment Options for Vision and Hearing Conditions

NEW YORK, March 26, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mediaplanet today announces the launch of this year's edition of the "Vision and Hearing Health" publication. This campaign will cover the day-to-day vision and hearing struggles that our patients, seniors, caregivers, and medical professionals fight through as well as display the best solutions to keep the quality of life to these individuals sustainable.

Most people are unaware of the concerns of early stages of vision and hearing loss that can result in significant damage. These types of disabilities can include keratoconus, thyroid eye disease, significant hearing loss, tinnitus and cochlear damage in which can all lead to a lack of quality of life. As every struggling patient is determined to focus on his or her own task at hand rather than treatment, there have been to many instances of avoidable risks taking place that result in these various types of impaired vision and loss of hearing. This campaign will assist and shed light on factors that patients should be aware of in order to maximize their quality of life.

MLB's and San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham overcame the odds with a rare eye condition: keratoconus. Tommy Pham is the only player in the MLB to play ball with a rare eye condition. Now, he wants to use his story to inspire others with the disease to seek treatment. "I'm very fortunate in the MLB with keratoconus, but from my success I'm able to help others," he said. A healthy cornea is shaped like a dome. With keratoconus, the cornea bulges out like a cone, affecting the way light reflects in the eye and blurring vision, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Pham, now 31, was diagnosed with keratoconus in 2008 after struggling at-bat for two seasons. The diagnosis was a relief. He recalled thinking, "I'm definitely [going to] start hitting the ball better when I get my vision right."
