So what causes hearing loss in the first place?
Your inner ear contains over 15,000 tiny hair cells. Over time these sensory hair cells become damaged. This usually happens after decades of being exposed to loud noise.
For example, a bulldozer that’s just idling is loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss after only one work day.
A subway train screeching into a station … a loud clap of thunder … and the blast of a lawn mower can damage hearing within just a few hours of exposure.
Noise from a blow dryer, kitchen blender or air conditioning unit can cause substantial hearing loss, too.
And those rock & roll bands you saw when you were a teen directly affect your hearing today.
But that’s not all. Ear infections , circulation problems, high blood pressure, medication and injuries can affect your hearing, too — and often without warning.
That’s the bad news. The good news is there are devices that cal improve your hearing. Visit a HearATLast, (HRAL), center and get tested.
