About National Save Your Hearing Day
It's recommended to have your hearing tested at least once every 10 years up to the age of 50, and then every 3-5 years thereafter. The frequency of hearing tests can vary based on individual factors such as exposure to loud noises, family history of hearing loss, and overall health.
Don’t take your sense of hearing for granted! You can prevent hearing loss by taking special care of your ears in loud and dangerous environments with hearing protection such as ear coverings or ear plugs.
Symptoms of hearing loss can include:
- Difficulty hearing in noisy environments
- Asking others to repeat themselves
- Turning up the volume on the TV or radio
- Difficulty understanding conversation
- Avoiding social situations
- Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus)
If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to have your hearing evaluated by a hearing healthcare professional. Early detection and treatment of hearing loss can help improve overall quality of life and communication abilities.
