Wait, how do you prevent mid life hearing loss?
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoWell, be careful what volume you listen to music at. Seriously. But if you've got it, get a hearing aid. Get an amplified phone. See, the problem (probably) is not hearing loss per se; it's that hearing loss cuts you off from the world (both the physical and social worlds). If you can prevent that, you can (I suspect) prevent the hearing loss contribution to dementia.
- mfoy_ 9y agoAvoid live concerts (the volume is always way too loud), wear appropriate hearing protection when working in a loud environment, listen to music at a reasonable level. Every so often I'll be sitting on a bus or plane and be able to clearly hear the music of someone 2-3 rows away through their earbuds or headphones that they are wearing (i.e. not just around their neck, but actually on / in their ears)
