Subtle changes in your hearing can be difficult to notice because of how slowly hearing loss typically advances. Although children are regularly tested, most adults don’t even consider scheduling a hearing test like they would their vision. So why would your hearing be any less critical than your vision?
Here are 6 reasons to get your hearing examined regularly:
- Spotting the Signs: Potential hearing issues can be exposed by day-to-day situations. Do you frequently need people to repeat what they said? Do you have a hard time hearing in loud environments? Are you constantly turning the volume on your TV up? If you said “yes” to the majority of these questions, it’s time for a hearing exam.
- Following Guidelines: Until you turn 50, you should get a hearing exam every 10 years and every 3 years after that, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
- Family History Matters: If other family members have hearing issues, this is an ideal reason to schedule a hearing test with us.
- Establishing a Baseline: We will utilize baselines, which will supply a frame of reference for further comparison to track changes to your hearing over time.
- Early Diagnosis and Treatment: Regular hearing exams can detect issues early on, such as earwax buildup or noise-induced hearing loss, allowing for quick intervention and preventing further damage.
- Diagnose Medical Conditions: Inherent medical conditions, like kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, or high blood pressure can on occasion be indicated by hearing loss. Addressing these conditions could improve your hearing.
