Did You Know? Men are three times more likely to develop hearing loss than women (UC Health).
Do you need hearing aids?
Hearing loss usually happens between the age of 50-60 and becomes more likely as we age into our sixties and seventies. Here are some signs that you might need hearing aids:
- You struggle to hear people and feel like they are mumbling or speaking too quietly
- You ask people to repeat themselves frequently
- You notice people speak more loudly in order to get your attention
- It's harder to hear someone through the phone or on video (like Zoom)
- You might struggle to follow a conversation, especially in louder settings like public events or live theatrical productions
Keep your ears healthy
- In noisy places, make sure you're wearing earplugs
- Go to the doctor regularly and check your hearing
- If you have prescribed hearing aids, be sure you're wearing them
- See your doctor if you are having problems with hearing
