Hearing Loss Prevention
Most of us know someone who has experienced or is experiencing a hearing loss. We’re speaking more loudly to be understood or we notice their TV or radio volume is turned up uncomfortably high.
If we can recognize the loss of hearing in others, we should take note if we start experiencing similar behaviors which could be the start of our own hearing loss. We think of age as being a determining factor in hearing loss but 40% of those Americans with hearing loss are under the age of 65. Also, our own life’s experiences can make us more susceptible to hearing loss such as past injuries, playing music at ear-blasting levels in our youth, working around loud engine noises or serving in the military, and being exposed to loud explosions and gunshots.
Not being able to hear clearly or understand what someone is saying can affect us both emotionally and socially according to many recent studies. And certainly, hearing loss can impact our job performance.
