Hearing loss is usually a slow process, making it easy to ignore the subtle changes in your ability to perceive sounds. Unlike children, who get routine hearing tests in school, adults rarely even consider scheduling an appointment. You wouldn’t neglect a decline in your eyesight, so why wouldn’t you track the health of your hearing?

It’s essential to have regular hearing exams, here are six reasons why:

  • Spotting the Signs: Potential hearing issues can be exposed by day-to-day situations. Ask yourself these questions: Do I frequently ask people what they said? Do I need to crank up the volume on the TV? Do noisy environments make conversations difficult? It’s time for you to get a hearing test if you answered yes to the majority of these questions.
  • Following Guidelines: The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association suggests hearing screenings every 10 years until age 50, and every three years thereafter.
  • Family History Matters: It’s even more worthwhile to call us for an appointment if hearing loss runs in your family.
  • Establishing a Baseline: Baseline hearing examinations provide a reference point for future hearing assessment comparisons, enabling you to track changes in your hearing over time.
  • Early Diagnosis and Treatment: Problems, like earwax accumulation, or noise-induced hearing loss, can be detected early on by routine hearing exams, preventing further damage.
  • Diagnose Medical Conditions: Hearing loss can sometimes point to underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or kidney disease. Addressing these conditions could improve your hearing.
