Hearing loss<\/a> is extremely common, affecting around 15% of adults in the U.S., or 37.5 million people, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders<\/a>. Despite its prevalence, although 28.8 million American adults could benefit from hearing aids, only one in five actually wear them, reports the Hearing Loss Association of America<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re at risk of hearing loss or you\u2019re not seeking treatment for your hearing loss, you should make the following New Year\u2019s resolutions for your hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wear Hearing Protection<\/h2>\n\n\n

Whether you work in a noisy environment like Louisville International Airport in Louisville, it\u2019s important that you wear hearing protection. Disposable foam earplugs can provide adequate protection, but custom earplugs from Certified Hearing Aid Consultants will provide maximum comfort and protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn Down the Volume<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the World Health Organization<\/a>, 1 billion young people worldwide are at risk of permanent, avoidable hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices. This is why it\u2019s important to follow the 60\/60 rule when listening to music or other media through earbuds or headphones: listen at no more than 60% of the device\u2019s maximum volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule a Hearing Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scheduling a hearing test is important for several reasons. First, even if you don\u2019t have hearing loss, it will establish a baseline that your audiologist can compare future tests to in order to monitor for changes to your hearing. Second, if you do have hearing loss, detecting it as early will yield the best outcomes for treatment and help prevent side effects like feelings of loneliness, social isolation, depression, anxiety and even dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invest in Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hearing aids<\/a> are the gold standard treatment for most cases of hearing loss. They work by amplifying sounds to a level your ears can easily detect. Many of today\u2019s hearing aids boast amazing features like rechargeability, Bluetooth connectivity, automatic programming and more.
