We get an annual physical every year to check for things like heart disease, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol, but when was the last time you were checked for hearing loss? Getting regular hearing tests can help detect and treat hearing loss, and can help prevent future issues. It can also determine whether you may need a hearing aid. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to decreases in cognitive function, increased feelings of isolation, and even a higher risk of developing dementia. Getting tested regularly can improve more than just your hearing – it can improve your life!
