1. Hearing Screening to Help Identify and Correct Problems
Hearing loss can be a very gradual process and many people are unaware that they
have had a decline in their hearing. It is therefore important to receive regular hearing
screenings to identify potential hearing problems over the age of 50.
The best way to get a hearing screen is through an Audiologist’s office. They use
special equipment to present different sounds through a set of headphones into your
ears.
As you hear these sounds, you are instructed to respond as they occur. This tells the
tester which sounds you can discern. These sounds are presented at different volumes
and pitches.
In this way, the tester can
determine how sensitive your
hearing is and what pitches
you cannot hear as well. In
addition, the results show
details of the hearing loss,
allowing the Audiologist to
explain how it impacts you.
Depending upon the severity
of the loss, different
treatments may be
recommended. Once hearing
loss has been detected,
regular hearing checks are important to monitor for additional loss.
Preventative action is always recommended, regardless of whether you have hearing
loss or not. This includes avoiding loud noise when possible and to protect your hearing
with protective earplugs when around loud machinery or music.
