They will then conduct a series of hearing tests in order to determine your type and degree of hearing loss. Your exam may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Audiometric pure tone evaluation<\/li><li>Speech evaluation<\/li><li>Immittance middle-ear evaluation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone over the age of 50 should have their hearing tested every three years, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asha.org\/public\/hearing\/hearing-screening\/#:~:text=Older%20Children%20and%20Adults&amp;text=Your%20child%20should%20get%20a,happen%20as%20you%20get%20older.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">American Speech-Language-Hearing Association<\/a><span>.<\/span> Those under the age of 50 should have their hearing screened at least once every 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resolve to Start Wearing Hearing Protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds are measured in decibels (dB). Anything over 85 dB can cause damage to your hearing. Power tools, gas-powered lawnmowers, sirens, firecrackers and guns can all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nceh\/hearing_loss\/what_noises_cause_hearing_loss.html#:~:text=Sound%20is%20measured%20in%20decibels,immediate%20harm%20to%20your%20ears.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">produce dangerously loud sounds<\/a>. While giving up yardwork and staying indoors may seem like the answer, you don\u2019t have to live this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing protection in the form of over-the-counter earplugs or custom-earmolds can keep your ears safe when exposed to loud noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resolve to Buy Safer Headphones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all headphones are created equal. When listening with headphones while in an environment with a lot of background noise, such at <a href=\"https:\/\/thesummitreno.com\/\"><\/a>, you have to turn the volume up even louder in order to drown out the noise of the crowd. This can damage your hearing all too easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to turning down your music, experts recommend only listening to music at 60% of your headphones\u2019 maximum volume. You might want to consider investing in a nicer pair of headphones. More expensive headphones do a better job at blocking out background noise, allowing you to hear your music better without putting your ears at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about protecting your hearing or to schedule an appointment with an audiologist, contact LeMay Hearing &amp; Balance&nbsp;today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn More About Hearing Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/how-insomnia-affects-hearing\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1097\">How Insomnia Affects Hearing<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/the-effect-of-social-distancing-on-people-with-hearing-loss\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1095\">The Effect of Social Distancing on People with Hearing Loss<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/what-is-the-difference-between-being-deaf-and-hard-of-hearing\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1093\">What Is the Difference Between Being Deaf and Hard of Hearing?<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\r\n<p><p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">LeMay Hearing &amp; Balance<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+17753235566\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(775) 323-5566<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New year, new you.
