                                            HEARING LOSS ADVICE FOR PEOPLE IN THEIR 30s AND 40s 
     If you can still hear but you canāt fully understand what someone is saying when they speak, itās time for a wake-up call about your hearing ā at any age. The cost of declining hearing isnāt fully understood until you can hear what you were missing all those years. Since most hearing loss happens gradually, we grow accustomed to our limited hearing as it declines, never knowing weāre missing more than we realize. A person in their 30s who chooses hearing aids may feel like theyāve been living underwater with muffled hearing. Clear hearing means understanding full words and sentences and finally knowing that the song says, āI want to hold your hand,ā not āI want to hold your ham.ā 
      Although hearing loss often goes undetected, it is one of the most common health problems in North America, with only high blood pressure and arthritis being more widespread. And when we realize how many causes there are for hearing impairment, including disease, todayās high-tech phones and music players, aging, noise pollution, heredity, trauma, and smoking, itās no wonder the numbers are so high. If your hearing is not what it once was or what it should be, find out how good it could be at BOBCAYGEON HEARING SERVICE.
P.S. Good hearing starts with a hearing test. Adults should have their hearing tested at least every 5 years. Adults at risk of hearing loss should have their hearing tested yearly.
