Should I Get My Hearing Tested in My 60s?

10/07/2024 | Hearing Test, Patient Resources

Professional hearing care can help you take control of your hearing health and rejoin the conversations you’ve been missing out on.

Turning the TV volume louder, asking loved ones to repeat themselves, struggling to keep up with conversations in busy environments, feeling exhausted from listening so hard … Does this sound like you? 

If you’re reading this, chances are that you’re struggling with some hearing loss challenges but haven’t decided whether to get it checked out or not. After all, many of us believe that hearing loss isn’t an issue that presents itself until we’re within an older age bracket of 70–90 years old. 

However, hearing loss can affect anyone, no matter your age. Getting it checked sooner rather than later could not only help improve your hearing but also your overall health – your ears do a lot more for you than just hear! 

Why Do I Need a Hearing Test? 

Hearing loss challenges are often associated with getting older; also known as presbycusis, age-related hearing loss is the most common cause for hearing loss, as it happens to all of us naturally over time. 

However, hearing loss can come about much younger than 70-plus. Noise exposure, genetics, trauma, disease, and infections can all cause hearing loss in people of all ages. 

Each year, we make sure to get our eyesight tested, our teeth cleaned, and our physical health examined, but when was your last hearing test? 

Realizing you may need help with your hearing is the first step toward a smarter, healthier future. Your hearing affects far more of your bodily health than you realize; your balance, your cognitive health, and your memory are all affected by hearing loss challenges, so it’s important to get your hearing tested when you find that you’re struggling. 

Professional hearing care can help you take control of your hearing health and rejoin the conversations you’ve been missing out on. 

Whether you need a quick ear cleaning or prescription hearing aids to help boost your hearing capabilities, investing in your hearing health will provide you with more improvements to your health than you think!
