Do You Need a Hearing Test?

Are you concerned that you’re not hearing as well as you used to? There are several signs of hearing loss that you should act on quickly. While age-induced hearing loss is natural and unavoidable, noise-induced hearing loss can at least be slowed down by being aware of the dangers and taking proper precautions. Here are some signs that you may need a hearing test:

• You often need people to repeat themselves
• You notice yourself turning the TV volume higher
• Sounds and words often seem muffled
• You experience a ringing or pulsing in the ear
• You have difficulty isolating sounds when in noisy or crowded places

If any of the above apply to you, it’s definitely worth booking a hearing test. At HearClear Audiology, we offer free hearing tests for people over 21, so we encourage you to give us a call and make a booking today.

Different Types of Hearing Loss

There are three main types of hearing loss, so when you visit an audiologist in Adelaide, you’ll be tested to determine first if you have hearing loss, and secondly the type. Understanding the different types informs the type of treatment you may require. The three main types of hearing loss are:
 
Conductive: Sound is blocked at the outer or middle ear. This type may be temporary, and an audiologist can recommend the required treatment methods.
 
Sensorineural: With sensorineural hearing loss, there is likely to be damage to your inner ear hair cells or hearing nerve. As such, the nerves aren’t able to send complete signals to the brain.
 
Mixed: This is a combination of both hearing loss types.
 
The level of hearing loss can vary depending on the severity of your issue. Some hearing loss is treatable, particularly conductive hearing loss. This is one of the main reasons you should book a free hearing test with HearClear Audiology even if you’re only slightly concerned about diminished hearing.
 

What causes hearing loss?

Hearing loss can be caused by a range of different factors, however, some of them are very preventable. The two main causes of hearing loss are:
 
Noise: When exposed to extremely loud noise for an unsafe amount of time, hearing can be damaged. In addition, noise-induced hearing loss can occur when people are exposed to noise for an extended period of time, even if the noise might be considered reasonable in small amounts. Noise-related hearing loss is largely preventable by using appropriate noise protection when being exposed to noise.
 
Age: Unfortunately, age-induced hearing loss is not preventable. Even if you take excellent care of your ears, you can still be susceptible to age-related hearing loss. This type of loss occurs because just like all parts of the body, our ears age over time. Natural deterioration of the hair cells in the inner ear is responsible for hearing loss, and the process can occur rapidly or over a long period of time.
 
In both cases, hearing is not a regenerative function of the body. Once hearing loss occurs, it can’t be repaired, which is why it’s so important to take care of your ears. Fortunately, your audiologist can help you deal with hearing loss in the most appropriate way, whether it is noise or age-induced.
