Stay Tuned in to the Sounds of Life by Getting Routine Hearing Exams

Subtle changes in your hearing can be difficult to recognize because of how gradually hearing loss typically advances. Unlike children, who get routine hearing tests in school, adults seldom even consider scheduling an appointment. You wouldn’t ignore a decline in your eyesight, so why wouldn’t you keep track of your hearing health?

It’s essential to get routine hearing tests, here are six reasons why:

• Spotting the Signs: Potential hearing issues can be revealed by everyday situations. Do you regularly need people to repeat themselves? Do you have a difficult time hearing in loud environments? Are you constantly turning the volume on your TV up? If you answered “yes” to the majority of these questions, it’s time for a hearing examination.
• Following Guidelines: The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association recommends hearing screenings every 10 years until age 50, and every three years after that.
• Family History Matters: It’s even more crucial to call us for an appointment if hearing impairment runs in your family.
• Establishing a Baseline: Baseline hearing tests give a frame of reference for future hearing examination comparisons, permitting you to track changes in your hearing over time.
• Early Diagnosis and Treatment: Issues, such as earwax accumulation, or noise-induced hearing loss, can be identified early on by regular hearing exams, avoiding additional damage.
• Diagnose Medical Conditions: Hearing loss can sometimes point to underlying medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or kidney disease. If you do have one of these disorders, treating it might help your hearing.
