\"5-Steps-to-Improve-Your-Hearing-img_640\"Many of us have already experienced or will experience some amount of hearing loss. This can be due to aging or noise-induced factors. Exposure to loud sound over time can permanently damage the ears and result in hearing loss.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself struggling with hearing and feeling the need to turn up the TV or your music louder, you may be experiencing hearing loss. Here are five suggestions to improve your hearing and prevent further damage.<\/p>\n

Wear protection<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you know you will be around loud noise and won\u2019t be able to avoid it, like at a large event or while using power tools, wear ear plugs. You can find ear plugs at most grocery stores and pharmacies. \u00a0They offer great protection for your ears from damaging loud noise.<\/p>\n

Limits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To keep volumes at a moderate level on devices or stereos, consider adding a volume limit. Most devices have a feature where you can set a maximum volume. This way, you won\u2019t be able to turn your volume up to the actual maximum.<\/p>\n

Give yourself a break<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Research has shown that being in a quieter setting can train your ears to better focus on the quiet sounds and increase overall hearing. Try to take even just ten minutes a day and go somewhere secluded where there is not a lot of external noise and disruption.<\/p>\n
