The IFP - Halton Hills | Thursday, June 16,2022 | 22 By Cory Soal RH.A.D. LOSS OF HEARING DUETO NON-AGING FACTORS Hearing loss due to aging can be compounded by other things. A few of these include noise exposure, disease and ear infections. Hearing loss due to age and noise are cumulative. That is, hearing loss from noise exposure will be added on to hearing loss due to aging. Neither are medically correctable. There is something to be said for protecting the hearing we have left by wearing hearing protectors while doing shop work or target shooting. Each of us reacts differently to hearing loss. We may totally or partially deny that a problem exists. Typical “denial” statements are “you're mumbling again”, or “1 was not paying attention” and can be a way of concealing hearing difficulties.
