Dr. Ginny Veloz, owner of Santa Clarita Hearing Center, joined The Senior Hour on KHTS and shared the ways many people can not be aware of the quality of their hearing.

When sudden conversations seem as if they are muffled or just overall difficult to hear when in the same room with another person, it is a great indicator that hearing has been compromised.

An easy fix to these situations can be a simple hearing inspection and if needed, hearing aids. Diagnosis of Dementia have often been linked to those who simply have damaged hearing. It is not that they are cognitively unable to understand, it is more that they are having trouble understanding due to actual hearing problems.

With small inventions such as the Walkman that first implemented portable sound, it can partially be responsible for the hearing loss involved in many across the world. We can then turn and analyze how modern day technology continues to comprise hearing ability.

When we have cars and surround sound speakers, an overuse of volume can further put ears in compromising environments. When you combine the fact that the sound is now surrounding the subject entirely and then think of how the volume is always abused to the loudest setting with younger drivers, the damage they are putting their ears in can be detrimental to their hearing health later in their lives.

A simple firecracker or gunshot can cause acoustic trauma, sometimes even with proper hearing protection.

An easy way to determine if a loved one suffers from acoustic trauma or even a slight hearing disability is their ability to engage in simple conversation with no other distractions or loud sounds in the room. If they seem unable to comprehend sentences or words either in person or on the phone, it can be a big indicator they’re hearing has already been compromised.
