Hearing loss can affect anyone – it doesn’t always happen once you’ve hit a certain age

Should I Get My Hearing Tested in My 60s?

by | Sep 3, 2024 | Hearing Loss

Many individuals associate hearing loss challenges with getting older. However, there’s a growing populace of the younger generation facing hearing loss – and they’re quickly realizing the lifelong benefits of better hearing. 

If you’re reading this, perhaps you’re in your sixties and wondering if you should get your hearing tested. Whether you’ve been struggling with your hearing for a few years or you’ve just realized that you can’t hear as well as you used to, you’ve already gotten the first step out of the way: accepting that you need a boost to your ears. 

Hearing loss can affect anyone – it doesn’t always happen once you’ve hit a certain age! There are several other causes for hearing loss, including medication side effects, infections, trauma, and noise exposure. Remember all those concerts back in the day that left you with ringing ears? 

For some, hearing loss challenges become more prevalent after a certain age, as our ear cells and hearing capabilities age with us, but for many younger individuals, hearing loss signs become visible much earlier. Missing parts of the conversation, not hearing the TV or the radio, asking people to repeat themselves constantly… 

Hearing loss can get frustrating and isolating. Thankfully, it’s easy to treat with the help of professional hearing care. 

How Can Professional Hearing Care Help Me? 

With the help of professional hearing care, including hearing tests, assistive listening technology, and regular ear cleaning, you can take charge of your hearing health and safeguard your golden years with clear, crisp hearing. 

Your personalized hearing treatment plan starts with a comprehensive hearing assessment; with your first hearing test, you can establish a baseline of what your current hearing levels are at and see how your hearing changes over time. 

We’ll start with a conversation about you to find out probable causes for your hearing loss, whether it be noise exposure, medications, genetics, or something else. The more you can share with us, the better – we like to get to know our patients! 

The hearing assessment itself is an in-depth examination of your current levels of hearing. This will take the longest out of the hour of your appointment with us, but we pride ourselves on making sure we hit every mark to ensure your hearing test is worth the wait. 

You’ll receive your results on the same day, and we’ll talk with you to help you decide the best course of action for what you need for your hearing health. 

With the power of professional hearing care, you can take control of your hearing health, no matter your age. Our team is ready to help you every step of the way.

After many years of working in busy environments to care for thousands of people’s hearing across Atlanta, I made the decision to focus on what actually matters – building real-world relationships to offer the highest level of hearing care available to trusted friends. Through the “HEARoeClub,” I work hands-on to personally care for a small number of incredible people to help them achieve better hearing, and going above and beyond to deliver much more than just hearing care.
