How Can You Prevent Hearing Loss?

Hearing loss is a common occurrence as you age. However, noise-induced hearing loss can occur in anyone at any age, and there are steps you can take to limit your noise exposure and avoid worsening of age-related hearing loss: • Protect your ears. Limiting the duration and intensity of your exposure to noise is the best protection. In the workplace, plastic earplugs or glycerin-filled earmuffs can help protect your ears from damaging noise. • Have your hearing tested. Consider regular hearing tests if you work in a noisy environment. If you've lost some hearing, you can take steps to prevent further loss. • Avoid recreational risks. Activities such as riding a snowmobile, hunting, using power tools or listening to rock concerts can damage your hearing over time. Wearing hearing protectors or taking breaks from the noise can protect your ears. Turning down the music volume is helpful too.
