HEARING PROBLEMS

Are you asking people to speak up or repeat themselves more often these days? Are you wondering who keeps turning down the volume on your TV? Or why your friends whisper? perhaps everyone has suddenly decided to tone it down. More than likely, though, your hearing isn't what it used to be.

Protection is the name of the game

Invest in a pair of ear protectors

When you're mowing the lawn, working or playing around loud machinery or other noises, wear ear protectors to muffle the sound.

Plug'em up

Rock concerts are much louder these days. Smart rockers know that good earplugs are must when it comes to concerts-either playing or attending.

Stick to your workout routine

Research shows that physically fit people have half the hearing loss of people who aren't fit-and you don't have to run marathons to qualify for the benefits.

Skip the headset

Or atleast make sure that you can hear someone talking when you play it, especially if you're power-walking, jogging or biking while wearing a personal headset.
