Hearing loss is a problem that affects as many as one in six adults. Often it is caused by repeated exposure to loud noises but sometimes there is no traceable root to the problem. Hearing loss can occur suddenly, but usually develops gradually with the onset of old age. General signs of hearing loss can include: difficulty hearing other people clearly and struggling to understand what they say, asking people to repeat instructions, and listening to music or watching television with the volume turned up abnormally high. Doctors and medical professionals offer plenty of guidance for those looking to avoid being affected by hearing loss.
