I just read a brief article quoting the Healthy Aging Partnership that says that age-related hearing loss begins to show up at around age 55. Beyond that, consistent exposure to loud noise and genetics plays a factor; accordingly, hearing loss affects 1 in 10 Americans. So, if you are in your mid-50's, have any concerns about your hearing, or just plain wondering you should consider getting a hearing test. I've heard of folks who got tested and found that there was nothing wrong; on the other hand, if you do have some hearing loss, then it stands to reason that the sooner you find out the sooner you can gain understanding of the condition and address it in a timely manner.
Until next time.
