Understanding Hearing Loss and Its Effects
Learn about the signs, causes, and consequences of hearing loss. Discover why hearing evaluations are essential for early issue detection and explore preventive measures to safeguard your hearing health.
Why is a hearing assessment important before buying hearing aids?
A hearing assessment identifies the type and extent of your hearing loss, crucial in recommending the most suitable hearing aids tailored to your specific needs.
I've noticed a decline in my hearing, but I'm unsure if it warrants a hearing aid. How can I determine this?
Common signs of hearing loss include difficulty following conversations, increased volume on electronic devices, or frequently requesting people to repeat themselves. If you experience these signs, we advise scheduling a hearing assessment.
Is it possible to prevent hearing loss?
Although not all hearing loss is preventable, you can reduce your risk. Avoid prolonged exposure to loud noises, utilize hearing protection when necessary, and undergo regular hearing check-ups.
At what age do most people begin using hearing aids?
Hearing loss can affect individuals of all ages. However, it is more prevalent in older adults, with many starting to use hearing aids in their 60s or 70s.
Can I conduct a hearing test at home?
While certain online tests can provide a basic assessment of your hearing ability, they cannot replace a comprehensive hearing evaluation conducted by a professional.
Is hearing loss reversible?
Certain types of hearing loss, such as those resulting from earwax blockages or infections, can be reversed with appropriate treatment. However, sensorineural hearing loss, typically due to inner ear damage, tends to be permanent.
How often should I have my hearing checked?
If you are aged 50 or older or are regularly exposed to loud noises, consider scheduling an annual hearing evaluation. However, if you notice sudden changes in your hearing, arrange for a prompt assessment.
Are there indications of hearing loss?
Signs may encompass unresponsiveness to sounds, speech and language development delays, and frequently increasing the volume on electronic devices. If you observe these signs, arrange a hearing assessment.
What does a hearing assessment entail?
A hearing assessment, performed by an audiologist, involves tests like pure tone and speech audiometry to evaluate hearing sensitivity and speech understanding. Other assessments like tympanometry and otoacoustic emissions may also be done to assess middle and inner ear function. After the assessment, the audiologist discusses results and recommends treatment options such as hearing aids if necessary.

Regular cleaning with a soft, dry cloth and checking for wax buildup is important. Storing them in a dry, cool place is also crucial. Deep cleaning should be done by a professional.
