5 Top Tips for Hearing Care 

Did you know hearing loss affects around 1 in 10 adults in the UK? Here are some of our top tips for proactive hearing care:

1. Get Regular Hearing Tests: Schedule hearing tests every 1-2 years, especially if you’re over 50, notice any difficulties hearing, or work in noisy environments. Early detection is key to managing hearing loss effectively.
2. Protect Your Hearing: Be mindful of noise levels. Use earplugs in loud environments like concerts or construction zones. Keep headphone volume moderate and avoid prolonged exposure.
3. Keep Your Ears Clean: Regularly clean your outer ears with a soft cloth and avoid inserting cotton swabs, which can push wax deeper and damage the ear canal. If you experience excessive earwax blockage, contact us to arrange professional removal by our audiologist.
4. Be Aware of the Signs: Difficulty understanding conversations, needing to ask people to repeat themselves, missing parts of phone calls, or feeling constantly fatigued from straining to hear are all potential signs of hearing loss.
5. Seek Professional Help: If you suspect hearing loss, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our audiologist can accurately assess your hearing, diagnose any issues, and recommend the best course of action.
