Loud Noise Exposure

Sudden and violent exposure to loud noise doesn't guarantee hearing damage, but wearing proper hearing protection in all loud environments is essential. Long-term exposure to less traumatic noise, such as construction work, live music, and daily traffic, can also contribute to noise-induced hearing loss. If you’ve been exposed to loud sounds, some of the signs you experience may include:

DIFFICULTY WITH HIGH-PITCHED SOUNDS

HARD TO UNDERSTAND IN CROWDS

MUFFLED SPEECH SOUNDS

TV VOLUME SET HIGH

Muffled Speech & Sound

One of the earliest signs and symptoms of hearing loss is in daily conversations with friends and family. If you have difficulty understanding others when they're speaking or find yourself asking people to repeat themselves often, it may be time to test your hearing, either online or schedule a comprehensive hearing evaluation with a provider. In more extreme cases, people might miss phone notifications or alarm clocks.

Constant Ear Ringing

Tinnitus is when you hear ringing in one or both of your ears when no external sound is present, whether it’s something you experience intermittently or constantly. Several factors can cause it, and, in some cases, it may be the precursor to hearing loss or another serious condition. Some of the early signs of tinnitus include:

  • Hearing buzzing, swishing, or ringing
  • Hearing loss accompanied by dizziness
  • Trouble sleeping due to ear ringing
  • Hearing a pulse or heartbeat (pulsatile tinnitus)

Hearing Loss Risks

Many different things can cause hearing loss, but the warning signs that you may be suffering from it are almost always the same. The hearing experts at AudioNova recommend scheduling regular hearing exams so you can catch the symptoms early. When you schedule a comprehensive evaluation with the hearing experts at AudioNova, we’ll determine your type of hearing loss and match you with an appropriate treatment plan.

You may be at risk of hearing loss if you:

  • Go hunting
  • Work in a noisy environment
  • Perform or attend live music shows
  • Use farm or construction equipment
  • Participate in loud recreational activities
