Question 1

my left ear doesn't work since as long as i can remember. the doctor told me my nerves are either too weak or dead. is there any hope?

Accepted Answer

Audiologist: If you came to me in my practice i would listen with sympathy to your story, but tell you that i strongly believe you can be helped by the right expert.  Hearing can be helped in significant ways through a variety of treatments and technologies. I would refer you to the best hearing specialist. I would advise you get to see an expert soon.

Question 2

how can i remember where i parked?

Accepted Answer

Brain Fog: You may be suffering from cognitive dysfunction, "brain fog", brought on by underlying conditions that affect mental function, performance and memory loss. Many times, this may be due to lack of hormones (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, dhea & pregnenolone) and/or b vitamin deficiencies. Have these evaluated and treated. Most times, your brain function will return.

Question 3

i can't remember my childhood is it bad?

Accepted Answer

Very unusual: If you truly cannot remember anything in your childhood, i would wonder if there was some traumatic event that occurred.  If your memory of recent events is normal, and you can recall things that happened last week, your inability to recall your childhood would possibly mean that there may have been events that were traumatic or upsetting. Perhaps seeing a psychiatrist would be helpful.

Question 4

how can i remember things im going to need ?

Accepted Answer

Keep lists: Letting yourself rely upon lists of things to keep yourself better organized is a wonderful strategy.  Keepings a list of groceries you'll need, errands you'll need to run, things you'll need to do when you're at target, etc., will enable you to focus on the more important things in life, without getting bogged down with all the details.

Question 5

when will my baby be able to remember things?

Accepted Answer

They already do!: Babies are born with certain abilities to remember, but as they develop and all those little brain nerve (neuron) connections are expanding and hooking up, they make better and better associations and recognize repetitive patterns more and more, easier and easier. The "memory" they are born with is different from what we think of, but it is still memory.

Question 6

what can i do to increase my remembering power?

Accepted Answer

Multiple things: eat and sleep well, keep alcohol to a minimum.Read more and do things that challenge your memory on a regular basis, like puzzles, math problems, and other types of mentally stimulating games that you enjoy. Limit TV and video game time and use all your senses to help you remember things. Read up on other things you can do to preserve and enhance memory.

Question 7

why is remembering a name important re: memory issues?

Accepted Answer

One name isn't: Forgetting more than one may not even be a problem, but it's a possible sign and easy to notice. Unimportant names are nothing to worry about if other cognitive functions are good. Names that do matter to you would be a greater concern - as are difficulties functioning as well as you have been. Naming is a specific act so tests can measure it. A screening may help you relax and early Tx's good.

Question 8

i can't remember certain words! what can be causing this?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: He/she can refer you for neuropsychiatric testing to see specifically what's wrong with you.

Question 9

why can't/don't i remember large portions of my childhood?

Accepted Answer

What age?: Many folks remember little before pre-school, except for very emotional events.  If the lack of memory goes well into grade school it may have something to do with lack of motivation to remember or maybe even some trauma that you'd rather not remember.  A clinical psychologist can help you sort that out.  If the latter is the situation he/she can help you possibly recall or live peacefully w/it.

Question 10

can anyone remember what happened to him when he was baby?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Most studies using age regression hypnosis show kids can remember back as far as age 2-3, depending on the kid studied. Testimonials to the contrary sometimes appear, but cannot be confirmed. There is some confusion over how easy it can be to plant false childhood memories during therapy.
