HearAll Hearing...
It's true what they say on that T.V. add you know - If you had a problem seeing correctly you would get glasses! But, if we have a problem with our hearing we tend to ignore it.
At HearAll Hearing, we strive to bring awareness of hearing loss and of available treatments to our local community through talks with local groups such as the Men's Shed's and active retirement groups. Perhaps one of the reasons that we tend to ignore hearing loss is due in part to the gradual nature of the decline in hearing for most of us. Hearing loss in Ireland affects 1 in 6 adults and increases to 1 in 4 adults over the age of 55.
Degenerative or age-related hearing loss can start from the age of around 40 onwards and happens at a snail's pace for most. Coupled with modern life's noise pollution and side effects of some modern medicines this hearing loss is starting to affect more and more people at even younger ages. If you notice hearing loss with family members or loved ones, or indeed yourself then it is imperative to avail of a hearing test to see how serious the problem is and what if anything can or needs to be done to rectify the problem. Even if you are happy with your current level of hearing, all adults should have a routine test at least every two years.
Signs of Hearing loss can be difficult to hear clearly in groups or places with some background noise. If you find yourself turning the T.V. or radio up louder than usual - or louder than others at home. Then this too is a warning sign that your hearing may be on the decline. Ringing or buzzing in your ears (known as tinnitus) is also another indication that your hearing levels may be starting to drop. Thankfully, there are many remedies out there to help with hearing loss from over the counter ear drops or nasal sprays, ear wax removal and even small discreet Hearing Aids.
At HearAll Hearing with offices based in Ryan House Wellness Centre, Trim, we are delighted to be able to conduct Free Hearing tests and offer advice on what course of action needs to be taken if a hearing loss is discovered.
