That persistent "beeeep" in your ear may be more important than you think

Notícias de Coimbra1 September 2026 at 14:38

The article addresses the topic of ringing in the ears, also known as tinnitus, warning that this symptom may be more significant than many people realize. The title suggests that a persistent sound, described as a "beeeep", that a person may hear in the ear deserves greater attention.

The article begins by asking the reader if they have ever heard a ringing, whistling, or other sound in the ear when everything around them is silent, which is precisely the phenomenon of tinnitus. This symptom is characterized by the perception of sounds that do not originate from an external sound source.

Unfortunately, the provided text is incomplete and does not contain additional information about the causes, consequences, or recommendations mentioned in the full article. One can only infer that the main objective is to raise public awareness about the importance of not ignoring these auditory symptoms.

It's not a lack of hygiene: science explains why we start having 'old person smell' after this age

Scientists explain that the so-called "old person smell" is not related to lack of hygiene, but rather to natural biological changes in the skin. The main cause is the increase of a compound called 2-nonenal, which forms due to changes in the composition of skin lipids and the oxidation process that occurs with aging. According to dermatologists, these changes can start appearing from the age of 40, when antioxidant defenses decrease and the composition of sebum changes. Although aging is inevitable, not everyone develops the same odor with the same intensity, with factors such as genetics, environment, and individual habits also being determinants.

Why does September give us the urge to change? Psychology has an explanation

The article explores why September triggers in people an increased desire to change and start anew. Although January is often associated with new resolutions, September has a more intense psychological effect due to its connection to the school calendar, the end of summer vacations, and the return to routines. Psychologists explain that this "September effect" is linked to associative memory, socialization, and the natural human tendency to seek fresh starts, making this month a powerful symbol of renewal that motivates many people to adopt new habits, organize their lives, and resume postponed goals.

Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy: GLP-1 pens don't cause psychiatric harm, new study shows

A new study published in the Diabetology journal, conducted by researchers from New Mexico State University and the University of Nevada in Las Vegas in the United States, concluded that GLP-1 class medications such as Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy are not associated with suicidal thoughts, depression, or other serious psychiatric harm. The medications, popularly known as "weight loss pens," are used in the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Initial reports of possible negative psychiatric effects had led the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to conduct formal safety reviews, but the research found no evidence to support such risks.
