Fitness trackers find a new symptom of depression -- body temperature. Researchers used data from the Oura ring fitness tracker to determine if it can detect early symptoms for COVID-19. It could. However, they also found an unexpected link between depression and body temperature. When people's bodies were hotter, they experienced more depression symptoms. Although it is not clear whether a high body temperature is directly linked to depression, there have been preliminary studies that link inflammation and body temperature with the disorder. Preliminary research has shown that using a Sauna can also help with depression. This study's lead author points out that, surprisingly, sauna use leads to a longer-term cooling in body temperature than ice baths. This podcast episode has more information on body temperature, depression and sauna use.

Vibes High-Fidelity Earplugs. Since tinnitus has become a part my life, I have taken extra precautions to protect my ears. This includes wearing earplugs at rock concerts. Most earplugs muffle sound and lower the quality of music performances. Vibes High-Fidelity Earplugs reduce the decibel level of a rock concert while maintaining quality listening. The earplugs also help you hear people talking at concerts. The Vibes worked perfectly for a concert I attended last week in the historic Cain's Ballroom, here in Tulsa.
