Did you know that
according to WebMD, hearing loss is the third most common health
problem in the U.S.? What’s interesting is that it’s also very
treatable, and the treatment is actually more successful the earlier
it is done. If you think you could have hearing loss, here are 10
reasons why you shouldn’t wait to find out for sure.
1. Hearing tests
are painless and they take less than an hour.
2. It’s never
too early to get your first hearing test. The earlier you test your
hearing, the sooner you can create a baseline to compare future tests
to determine if your hearing is getting worse.
3. At your
hearing checkup, not only is your hearing ability checked, but so is
the health of your ears. If you have a wax build up it could be
affecting your hearing.
4. Hearing loss
may be an early warning sign for other health conditions, like
cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
5. When hearing
loss is left untreated, your chances for developing dementia are
increased.
6. Untreated
hearing loss increases your chances of falling and possibly seriously
injuring yourself.
8. Untreated
hearing loss has been linked to depression and social isolation.
9. The Mayo
Clinic recommends baseline hearing tests for adults.
10. Because it’s
important to be proactive about your health and to improve your
quality of life.
