Noise Induced Hearing Loss
Protect your Hearing and be listening to your favourite sounds for years.
Noise Induced Hearing Loss
While hearing loss can occur at any age and particularly as you grow older, there are many ways to protect your hearing in everyday situations. Every assault on your ear drums is effectively adding to your future potential hearing loss. We live in a very noisy world and simple things like using power tools, mowing the lawn and listening to loud music can immediately or over time cause damage to your hearing system.
Practical Measures to Protect your Hearing
Preventative measures to stop further hearing loss include:
- Wearing earplugs or ear defenders when using noisy equipment.
- Musicians' earplugs - maintain frequency response while reducing sound to safe levels, so you can enjoy the concert or music without causing hearing loss and tinnitus.
- In-ear monitors - clearly hear what you're playing on stage and not damage hearing.
- Snore plugs - for the snorer and anyone around them.
All the above can be obtained through Kapiti Hearing.
If you think you have significant hearing loss already, a diagnostic hearing test can be done to see if you need a hearing aid.
