Hearing Damage And Loud Music
While attending the Home County Music festival in London ON, I came across the Beck Hearing Aid Centre booth. In addition to having a lot of information available to take away and read later, they also offered on the spot hearing checks! Hearing damage and loud music are an important issue to consider when attending a music festival.
This was the perfect place to bring hearing to people’s attention. Let’s face it, a lot of music lovers frequent music venues (concerts and bars maybe) where loudness is a key factor. The likelihood of affecting your hearing in the long term is pretty high – so what better place to remind people to check this out.
Another critical piece of information is the fact that Beck offers people a hearing test at no cost. This is particularly relevant considering government support (OHIP) no longer covers this expense. The Beck’s website has a wealth of good information.
Important things to consider concerning hearing and hearing loss
Most often a hearing loss develops gradually and painlessly.
Hearing can be damaged by:
• Exposure to loud or constant noises
• Inherited medical conditions
• Illness
• The natural aging process
• Traumatic injury
• Toxic medications
• Tumors
People are unique
All factors listed above can be combined in varying degrees for different people. No two people have the same hearing impairment.
Digital hearing aids allow your Hearing Health Care Professional to more precisely match your individual hearing requirements. A simple hearing test may be all you need to help with hearing damage and loud music.

• find it difficult to understand others
• or your loved ones suspect you have a hearing loss

• have not had a hearing test in the last 12 months
