While hearing loss is often associated with the older generations, there’s a growing populace of younger people facing hearing loss challenges – and just as many are starting to see the lifelong benefits of strong, healthy hearing.
It’s true that hearing loss challenges often come about as a result of aging. Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is the most common cause of hearing loss, as we all eventually deal with it.
However, hearing loss can affect anyone, no matter their age; from noise exposure to illness side effects, there are multiple causes of hearing loss, but what matters is how you take steps to treat it.
Hearing care isn’t out of reach for those in a certain age bracket. If you’re reading this and you’ve found yourself struggling to hear recently, you’re in the right place: professional hearing care with Flex Audiology could not only alleviate those struggles but also show you multiple other health benefits as you continue your active and independent lifestyle.
Why Do I Need a Hearing Test?
You’re never too young or too old to deal with a hearing loss challenge.
I’ve seen hundreds of patients of all ages come in for their first appointment feeling skeptical that they really need a hearing test; those same patients always leave our clinic with a confident air about them, reassured that they made the right choice.
Even just one comprehensive hearing test can provide you with a detailed explanation of your current range of hearing and help outline steps you should take to help optimize it, whether that be with hearing protection or hearing aids.
Many view hearing loss as a sign of getting older, and as a result, hearing care falls by the wayside as people fear aging. However, we see getting your hearing tested as a sign of a life well lived, with plenty left to enjoy! You’re taking charge of your hearing health, and looking after your ears will create a ripple effect on the rest of your body.
Untreated hearing loss has been linked to cognitive decline, an increase in risk of falls, social isolation, anxiety and depression, and dementia. By treating your hearing challenges with professional, personalized hearing care, you can mitigate those risks: enjoy sharper memory, stronger balance, confidence in social events, and more!
It’s never too late to get personalized hearing care that works for you and your unique needs.
