Ways To Safeguard Your Hearing

Hearing is one of the doorways to one's learning.You must have seen how little babies mimic sounds they hear, that is one of the ways they learn. It is sad that those who can't hear, face a bigger challenge to learn, as many would say that when you see, hear, you understand faster. At times, one loses hearing due to ageing or at times due to accidents, that is when one realises the importance of hearing.

Ways to safeguard your hearing:

1. Try to avoid loud places: It is not advisable to go to places where you have to shout to be heard, such as in a street, a concert or a construction site.
2. Buy low noise rating equipment: The equipment in your house will make a sound that you hear the most. Try to avoid this equipment by buying appliances with a low noise rating.
3. Wear hearing protection at loud places: However, it is true that it is not always possible to avoid loud noises. This is when you need to get hearing protection. Earplugs and earmuffs are two of the best ways to make sure that even when you are in a loud place, your hearing does not get affected. Earplugs and earmuffs generally reduce sound by 15 to 30 decibels, which may be crucial to making sure that later in your life, you do not lose your hearing. This is especially in airports, when you've to board the plane, you hear that loud noise of the engine.
4. Avoid smoke: Smoking raises your chance of hearing loss. Second-hand smoke does the same thing. Therefore, try to avoid, both smoking and secondhand smoking. 
5. Avoid medications which reduce hearing: Certain medications increase the hearing loss. Therefore, double check with your doctor to make sure your medicines will not make you lose your hearing.
6. Get your hearing tested: Finally, get your hearing tested as identifying the problem early on can help stop worsen the situation.
7. Don't use pins, or other gadgets to clean the wax from your ears, as it does more harm. Our ENT said not to even use cotton buds to clean ears. A better solution will be to put water in our ears, tilt our ears to remove the water and then wipe the ears with a soft cloth. Or, if you feel there is wax, best to go to ENT to get your ears cleaned.
