Exposure to excessively loud noise for long periods in the workplace or at home while using a leaf blower, lawnmower, or power tools can also result in hearing loss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can take steps to protect yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>When you\u2019re around loud sounds, always use hearing protection, such as foam earplugs or custom earplugs from an audiologist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn down the volume, especially when listening to your personal audio player, and consider listening for less time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are around loud noises in public, move away from the sound source\u2014for example, don\u2019t sit near the speakers at a concert.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Following these tips can help you maintain good hearing health for years to come. And since hearing loss is linked to many other health conditions, such as cognitive decline, depression, and balance problems, you\u2019ll also help your whole body stay healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think you may have hearing loss or want to know more about custom ear protection?
