Taking Your Hearing for Granted?

Most people don't give the ability to hear a second thought ... until they start to lose it. Even then denial usually gets the best of them. They become like the guys who are going bald and try to hide it with a bad comb-over. Unfortunately, the only people they're fooling are themselves.

Hearing loss can wreak havoc on daily life. People become frustrated when they have to repeat everything for someone whose hearing is failing. The opposite is true, too, with hard-of-hearing individuals avoiding the stress of social situations, and ending up isolated and often depressed.

If you're a Baby Boomer or older and find yourself straining to hear ordinary conversations, you may be experiencing hearing loss. (Actually, younger people are at risk, too, thanks to iPods, video games, car stereos and all the other noise kids are exposed to these days.)

Don't despair. There are steps you can take now to protect your hearing and become healthier overall. This book can help. So can this blog, where we'll be posting news and information on hearing-related topics and aging in general.
