Hearing loss can happen to anyone, regardless of age or sex. In some cases, it can happen suddenly to those overexposed to loud noises. In most cases, however, it happens slowly over a long period of time. This is often the case with age-related hearing loss, and usually only noticeable as it progresses. Recognizing the symptoms of hearing loss is an important first step towards helping you get back to living a fuller, healthier life.
