Why Do I Need to Protect My Hearing
Why Do I Need to Protect My Hearing
The world around us is noisy—often more so than we realize. People's tolerance for loud sounds varies, and we frequently acclimate to high noise levels without noticing. Loud noises can come from many sources: children screaming, vehicles braking, music from gyms or dance classes, concerts, nightclubs, and power tools. All of these can contribute to the development of permanent, irreversible hearing loss.
Hearing loss typically develops gradually, but once it's gone, it doesn't return. Tinnitus—a persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears—is often associated with hearing loss. The impact of hearing loss extends beyond the ears, affecting both physical and psychological aspects of our quality of life.
Fortunately, there are steps we can take to protect our precious hearing.
