The Truth about Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is so common, it's almost normal.
Yet despite its widespread prevalence, there are many myths surrounding it, most of them based on out-dated attitudes. So here we expose the myths surrounding hearing loss and explain the truth…
In Causes of Hearing Loss we looked at some of the reasons why people don't hear as well, but we never asked the question, how well should we be hearing? Unless we know what normal hearing is, we won't know whether something deviates from this.
According to research, about one in six adults in the United Kingdom have a degree of hearing loss. This rises to one in three people over the age of 65, but it can affect everyone from the very young to the very old.
Most changes in your hearing will be very hard to detect without routine hearing tests. This article explains the four reasons why we miss changes in our own hearing, and why it's important that we catch them as early as possible.
Why do people often pretend they don't have a hearing loss when everyone around them knows that they do?
This article explains the reasons why, and the four steps to getting the best out our hearing again.
The 3Rs of Checking Your Own Hearing is a very easy-to-remember self-check that you can use on a regular basis as an early warning system for any changes in your own hearing. You don't need any special equipment. It's all based on things you'll encounter in every day life.
