Get Help: Wear a Hearing Aid
We just loved what “Doctor! Doctor! I Can’t Hear a Thing,” a recent Times Online article, had to say about hearing loss and hearing aids. Written by the director of the Help in Hearing Clinic, the article talks about how listening to loud music and going to rock ‘n’ roll concerts has done damage to people, and today’s generation has to worry about hearing loss from listening to MP3 players with in-ear headphones at an unreasonable volume.
The article gives a few tips for protecting yourself from hearing loss, like listening to music played on a portable music device with headphones that block out environmental noise. Also noted is that “wearing a hearing aid can help and the sooner you start the more benefit it will give you.” When you ignore your hearing loss, says the article, the longer your brain will be deprived of auditory stimulus.
Since so many young people are experiencing hearing loss, the common misconception is that hearing aids are big, embarrassing and noticeable. Hearing aids today are small and discreet, and there are even some available that help clarify sounds for people who can’t hear high frequencies anymore.
Though it can be tough to admit your hearing is going, says the article, people over 50 years of age should have hearing tests on a regular basis.
