• A feeling of fullness in your ears after leaving a noisy area.
• Ringing or buzzing sound in your ears immediately following noise exposure.
• You can’t hear someone talking three feet away.
• You can hear people talking but have difficulty understanding them.

Unfortunately, hearing loss due to noise exposure can happen so gradually over time that people may not realize that it is happening until they start to have difficulty in many listening situations. May is Better Hearing Month. Take control of your hearing health and make an appointment with an audiologist for a base line hearing evaluation to include a personalized hearing conservation plan. Noise induced hearing loss is preventable!
