Causes of Hearing Impairment
Most often a hearing loss develops gradually and painlessly. It could happen at your workplace, or going out to hear loud music performances. It may be you have a hobbie that produces loud noise levels due to loud machinery for example.
Hearing can be damaged by a variety of causes, including:
- Exposure to loud or constant noise
- Inherited medical conditions
- Illness
- The natural aging process
- Traumatic injury
- Tumors
Tips to Protect Your Hearing
Looking after your hearing starts with simple choices.
- Turn down the volume. Whether you're listening to music through headphones or attending a live concert, keep the volume at a safe leve.
- Give your ears a break. After prolonged exposure to any noise, find a quiet space to allow your ears some rest.
- Use hearing protection during loud events. Ear plugs or earmuffs can be a quick solution for those unexpected bursts of noise.
- Purchase quieter appliances, tools and machinery. Check out the decibel rating when buying household appliances and workplace equipment.
- Get regular check-ups. These can catch any early signs of hearing loss. At Complete Hearing Solutions, we encourage routine hearing assessments as a cornerstone of auditory health.
- Keep a set of earplugs at hand. This could be in your car, handbag, or on your nightstand. You never know when you might encounter a potentially harmful noise level.
