Our Hearing Tests Can Help Solve Your Hearing Issues
Top Reasons to Have a Hearing Test
Many problems that can affect hearing are preventable, and quite a few are treatable. Sadly, hearing loss or the possibility of having hearing problems are often ignored. Even before the signs of hearing loss appear there are many reasons to have a test to pinpoint problems. Hearing loss is very common. Research shows that one in five people over the age of 12 have some type of hearing loss. This can impact on relationships, learning, and reaction to possible risks or dangers. Activities most enjoy, such as sporting events, listening to music, watching television, or simply having a conversation all depend on the ability to hear clearly. Even mild to moderate hearing loss can leave a person feeling isolated. Knowing the extent of hearing loss can help in finding ways to improve hearing such as using a hearing aid.
After an Accident
Certain traumas to the body can affect hearing. Having a hearing test after suffering a fracture to the skull or concussion is usually recommended. Having a ruptured eardrum is another reason to have hearing checked as soon as possible.
