I found out that I had hearing loss at 19 years old — and it completely changed the way that I think about hearing health. In this video, I’m sharing the 5 biggest things I wish everyone knew about their hearing after spending years helping people treat hearing loss and improve their quality of life. I cover: ✅ Why hearing loss can happen at any age ✅ Why waiting to treat hearing loss can make things worse ✅ Why hearing aids alone are NOT enough ✅ How some hearing loss is preventable ✅ The connection between hearing loss and dementia One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that hearing loss only affects older adults… but that simply isn’t true. Whether it’s noise exposure, genetics, medications, or health conditions, hearing loss can impact anyone. I also explain why proper hearing aid programming using Real Ear Measurement is critical if you want to hear your absolute best.
