Do I lose hearing each year?
Hearing loss happens to everyone as we get older, starting in our 30s and 40s. Some people lose their hearing and get age-related hearing loss earlier and faster than others. We don’t lose the same amount of hearing each year; your hearing may stay the same for some time, and then it reduces a lot, or it may reduce gradually, a little at a time. Hearing can reduce faster by working in loud noise, taking some medications, or if you have an injury to your ear. Find out more.
You can browse the Hearing Health category page for more on understanding age-related hearing changes.
