Men and women experience hearing loss differently — but both can benefit from early detection and treatment. Here are a few key differences you might not know:
1️⃣ Men are more likely to experience hearing loss earlier — often due to higher exposure to loud noises at work or during hobbies.
2️⃣ Women tend to lose hearing in the higher frequencies later in life — meaning men’s voices may be easier to hear than women’s in some cases.
3️⃣ Men are less likely to seek treatment for hearing loss, even when symptoms are obvious.
4️⃣ Women often report more difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, even when hearing test results are similar to men’s.
