Reruns tops the Nielsen's There is help for tinnitus
NEW YORK (AP) - Despite
a sprinkling of first-run
programs like “Tom Snyder’s
Celebrity Spotlight” on NBC
and “Nobody’s Perfect” on
CBS, viewers continued'to
favor reruns in greater num-
bers in the week ending June
29, figures from the A.C.
Nielsen Co. show.
In fact, repeats of four CBS
series .were the week’s most-
watched shows, with “M-A-S-
,H” No. 1 with a rating of 23.2.
Nielsen says that means of all
the homes in the country with
television, 23.2 percent saw at
least part of the program.
Thirteen previously
broadcast programs were
ranked behind “M-A-S-H,” and
ahead of the first of the original
Shows, Snyder’s 15th-place
“Celebrity Spotlight.”
CBS was the big beneficiary
in the weekly audience survey,
listing 10 of the week’s 20 most-
watched shows to six for ABC
and four for NBC.
CBS’ rating for the week was
14.1 to 13.4 for ABC and 12.5 for
NBC. The networks say that
meaps in an average prime-
time minute during the week,
14.1 percent of the nation’s TV-
equipped homes were tuned to
CBS.
It was NBC’s second week in
a row in third place after a
short-lived climb to the run-
nerup position early in June.
NBC now has been No.3 for 17 of
the last 18 weeks. .....
In addition to Snyder’s show
and “Nobody’s Perfect,”
several other new shows were
moderately successful. An NBC
special, “Debbie Boone: The
Same Old Brand New Me,”
finished in a tie with “Nobody’s
Perfect” for 19th place, with
“Phyl & Mikhr on CBS 27th
and “Willow B: Women in
Prison,” 28th.
News specials did not do well.
“Sadat’s Eternal Egypt,” a
-“CBS Reports” presentation,
was No. 57 for the week, while

Forgetfulness?
over ashtrays
choices
" —— / t
Karen Blaker Ph.D. _
DEAR DR. BLAKER - My
wife is not very thoughtful.
She continually promises to
leave out the ashtrays after
she cleans so I won’t have to
search for them before I sit
down for a cigarette after
work.
This is not a big thing, but it
gets on my nerves.
She says she doesn't do it on
purpose, but it feels like she is
punishing me for not keeping
the promise I made months
ago to stop smoking. She is not
usually vindictive, but this
leaves me very confused.
i DEAR READER - You
are confused because your
wife is giving you a double
message. She says^he will
leave the ashtraySoul, thus
; leading'you to bejieve she
does not mind i/.-y'ou smoke.
But her “forgetfulness” sug-
gests otherwise.
Before-^ou heap all the
hlapie' for the situation on
“ Y0ur wife, consider whether
jyou are driving her to this
indirect form of communiea-
! tion by your double message
; about giving up'cigarettes.
You sayjou will stop smok-
ing, but you make no effort. If
she reminds you of your
! promise, I imagine you might
consider her somewhat of a
nag.
You have created false
expectations. And you destroy
! her faith in you every time
you light up.
If you are making empty
promises just to avoid
conflict, you can see now that
■ the practice doesn’t work. It
only backfires and causes
; more serious conflicts — con-
flicts concerning trust.

am 23 years old and have
been living away from home
for four years.
I always make a point of
proving my independence
from my parents by never
telling them when or for how
long I will visit them.
This system helps me feel
free but causes a lot of hostili-
ty at home. How can I explain
my behavior to my parents so
they will leave me alone?
DEAR READER - You
may ffeel free when you take
such control of your visits
with your parents, but that
need for independence plus
your use of the word “home”
in reference to the place
where your parents live indi-
cates that you may have to
continually fight a strong
need to be taken care of.
Your provocative refusal to .
use common courtesy in your
relationship with your parents
points in tne same direction.
Do you need their anger to
feel more distant, thus less
tempted to return home?
You will know you are truly
independent — as much as
anyone can ever be from his
or her parents — when you
are able to treat them as you
would a good friend. After all,
you are three aablts.

me from sleeping I’ve gone to
doctors and they tell me that
after 65, the ears get weak
and hum and there’s nothing
to do about it I'm .really tired
all the time. I'm OK during
the day but when 1 lie down at
night it keeps me awake
-DEAR READER - Its
true that noises., in the ear,
ringing, humming, etc ,
increase in frequency as you
get older. That doesn't mean
that something can t be done
to help in many cases.
Ringing or buzzing in the
ear, which we call tinnitus, is
a symptom. It can be caused
by many different things
That's why it’s important to
have a medical examination
The ears may simply be
plugged with wax Tinnitus
can be caused by changes in
the circulation to the brain or
the ear. In many cases, no
cause can be found Occasion-
ally, it’s caused from noise
damage
To give you a better idea of
the problem and the many dif-
ferent things that cause it, I
am sending you The Health
Letter number 12-10, Help for
Tinnitus — Noise or Ringing
in the Ear. Other readers who
want this issue can send 75
cents with a long, stamped,
self-addressed envelope for it.
Send your request to me, in
care of this newspaper, P.O
Box 1551, Radio City Station,
New York, NY 10019
Now after you have had an
examination to find out what
causes your problem, if it’s
not wax in the ear or some-
thing simple, there are sever-
al things that might be done.
If your tinnitus is associated
with hearing loss, sometimes
a properly designed and fitted
hearing aid will relieve the
problem If it’s not associated
with hearing loss apd is one of
the unexplained groups of ear
noises, then you might use a
tinnitus masker. This device

DEAR DR LAMB - Is
chewing ice or ice cubes
harmful to my health? 1 find
it refreshing and often go
through several trays of cubes
a day. Some of my friends
insist that it is not good Can
you helpf
DEAR READER - No. it s
not harmful After all, it's just
about the same as drinking
water Occasionally, there are
people who eat large amounts
of ice because of underlying
medical disorders We also
see people who eat large
amounts of clay and even
laundry starch. Some of these
cases appear to be associated
with an underlying anemia
So, if you want you might
have your blood checked.
Otherwise, just consider it the
same as if you were to ask if
it's all right to drink two or
three ice cube trays full of
water a day.
