3 Tricks To Keeping Your Hearing

Hearing Loss studies are continually being

preformed. Some of these studies have

shown that hearing loss is not in fact

something that will plague us all in old age

catches us. There are things that you can

do on an everyday basis to help prevent

hearing loss.

1. Let Your Earwax Be

Resist the urge to swipe the insides of your ears, even with the gentlest of

tools. Cerumen, the substance commonly known as earwax, actually

provides a very important role. Removing your earwax by compulsively

cleaning your ears leaves them vulnerable to bacteria and moisture. This oily

residue moisturizes and lubricates your ear canal while trapping any stray

particles that could otherwise damage or irritate your inner ear, and

ultimately, your hearing.

2. Get Your Hearing Checked Often

You don’t have to work in a high-risk, noisy industry to understand that you

can’t regain lost hearing. Getting your hearing checked on a regular basis

alerts you and your doctor to any significant changes in your hearing loss

before they become worse.

3. Know Your History

Although they’re not the only factor, genetics are important. While it’s

important to get routine hearing tests throughout adulthood, you’ll want to

start getting an annual screening sooner rather than later if your parents or

grandparents have hearing loss.
