Have you been to too many loud concerts? Do you sometimes have difficulty hearing what people say to you? Our ears are highly sensitive to loud noise. Even very short exposures to high-level sounds at a concert or sporting event (anything above 132 decibels) can cause permanent hearing loss for some people. If you think you may be hard of hearing, there are resources available to help you navigate your challenge. Amy Evans, Strategic Planner for the NHhears Initiative and board member with the Northeast Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services, Inc., joined Bradley Jay to chat about preventive measures, treatments, and tools to help navigate hearing loss and improve quality of life for the hearing impaired.
