"I don't have to worry about my hearing or get it checked until I am over 60. There isn't much you can do to protect it anyway because you naturally lose it with age."
- Nov 10th, 2009
Hearing damage can happen at any age. People who are exposed to noise and do not protect their hearing begin to lose their hearing at an early age. For example, by age 25 the average carpenter has "50 year old" ears!
There are actually more people with hearing loss between the age of 45 and 64, than over 65. There is also growing concern for young people with children as young as 10 now suffering tinnitus and permanent hearing loss due to the increased use of in-ear listening devices such as MP3 players.
Do not wait until you notice a hearing loss to start protecting yourself from harmful noise. After damage to the ear is done, it generally cannot be reversed.
Noise injury, not age is the single most common cause of hearing loss. 37% of hearing loss is due to noise injury. That means it could have been prevented.
Anyone regularly exposed to loud noise or over the age of 55 should have an annual hearing test.
Anyone who notices a change in their hearing (or who develops tinnitus) should have their ears checked straightaway.
A hearing test is painless and easy. It’s important to detect a loss as soon as possible as this can help minimize further hearing loss.
