When should I get my hearing checked?
Did you know on average people wait 7 to 10 years before seeking treatment for hearing loss? According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, hearing loss is the most common chronic health condition affecting older adults. Did you also know that diabetes, renal failure, dementia, increased risk of falling and cerebro/cardiovascular disorders are all conditions linked to untreated hearing loss?
We recommend at the age of 45 years a hearing test be added to your yearly check up. If you have any ear concerns such as ringing in your ears, dizziness, history of noise exposure, aural fullness, genetics, or if you have any of the health conditions listed above, we recommend scheduling a hearing test as soon as symptoms arise.
