Protecting your hearing will help ensure your devices have enough residual hearing to work with. Let\u2019s examine a couple of protective measures you can take to keep your ears happy and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reduce Loud Noise Exposure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Man](\"https:\/\/hearbetterevansville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Man-wearing-earmuffs-at-a-construction-site.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nLoud noise exposure can result in temporary or permanent hearing loss. The Centers for Disease Control define the threshold for hearing loss as occurring when the ears are subjected to any noise above 70 decibels for a prolonged period or any noise above 120 decibels immediately<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nExposure to loud noise can come from many sources, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Traffic<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Personal audio devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Concerts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Construction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Reducing your exposure to high-decibel noises as much as possible will help prevent damage to your residual hearing. If you plan on being in a high-decibel environment, such as a concert at the Ford Center, consider wearing earplugs<\/a> to dampen the sound\u2019s effect on your ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWear Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Wearing your hearing aids will help you identify and understand speech sounds<\/a>, reduce irrelevant background noise and manage tinnitus symptoms, but they can also help prevent further hearing deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSimilar to how exercise strengthens and maintains the muscles in your body, wearing hearing aids helps stimulate your auditory nerve. A study on auditory deprivation in children found that lack of stimulation of the auditory center can lead to \u201cweakening or loss of the ability to process auditory information in the central auditory system<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nHearing aids will help keep your brain stimulated and protect against further hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
