• Avoid Noisy Environments

Harmful noise levels, especially at 85 decibels and higher, are one of the leading causes of hearing loss. It could cause permanent or temporary damage. It can also worsen if you are exposed to more noise. Avoiding harmful noise levels is your best option.

• Wear hearing protection

It’s not always possible to avoid excessive noise, especially if that’s your job. Workplaces can be noisy, whether you are operating machinery on a farm or calling games in a packed arena. A hearing protector is the solution. For a more secure fit and greater effectiveness, we recommend custom protection.

• Resolve Earwax buildup

Earwax buildup or excess cerumen can also contribute to hearing loss. Although your ears are able to naturally remove excess wax, sometimes there can be a blockage. You can remove an earwax blockage by gently softening it with drops of olive oil, almond oil water or a commercial solution, provided your eardrums are not perforated.

• Ototoxicity: Beware

Ototoxic medications can cause damage to the inner ear and could lead to hearing loss. Talk to your doctor about possible alternatives and ways to reduce any potential risks to your hearing.

• Consider Total Wellness

Although it is easy to view hearing loss as a single issue, it can also be associated with other conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and dementia. Although cause and effect may not be conclusive in every case of hearing loss or other conditions, it is possible to maintain your hearing health by focusing on total wellness.
