My hearing is already damaged. Is there any point in wearing hearing protection?

It’s never too late to protect your hearing, even if it is already damaged.

Ongoing exposure to loud noise can cause further permanent hearing loss, and while hearing aid technology is progressing every day, even the best hearing devices can only improve the hearing you have left.

Hearing protection is also an investment in your future. When you begin to lose your hearing, your brain has to work harder to keep up with the world around you. This extra effort can cause problems such as tinnitus (ringing in the ears), social isolation, cognitive decline, poor sleep, and chronic stress.

Our Ear360 assessment provides a clear, honest picture of your hearing health. It looks beyond the sounds you can hear to explore how your hearing affects other areas of your life, such as sleep, balance, tinnitus, and cognitive function.
