Everyone's using headphones and blasting sounds at full-volume now; noise-cancelling ear-phones are as common and cheaper than ever; live shows and events with crowds are a must for most adults, and children are being left to their devices - listening to music and game-sounds without knowing what's too loud for their ears.

So how can we protect our hearing, and prevent hearing loss? When should we see a specialist or get tested?

What are we doing that's causing damage? and how can we judge what our hearing levels are like? 

With Tim Beveridge to talk about it: ENT Surgeon and Hearing Specialist, Dr Michel Neef

A new study finds poor sleep is tied to rising cancer risk for those under 50, with irregular sleeping patterns and insomnia being three times more likely to get cancer within five years.

But sleeping can be hard to do, especially if you're younger and faced with the stresses of today, or the distractions on your phone. 

You could also do shift-work at irregular hours to make your living, in that case, you delay sleep for later or force yourself to run on empty.

So what can be done about improving our sleep quality, and what are we doing wrong - and more to the point, how do you recognise chronic sleep deprivation?

Sleep Expert and Director of Sleep Well Clinics, Dr Alex Bartle talks to Tim Beveridge.
