Age-related hearing loss can impact everyone. Research published in American Family Physician found that hearing loss affects at least 25% of adults over the age of 50 and 50% of people over the age of 80. Audiometry is one method for detecting hearing loss. Your hearing is evaluated with an audiometry test. It assesses concerns with balance, the strength and tone of sounds, as well as other inner ear-related problems. The test is carried out by an audiologist, a medical professional who focuses on identifying and treating hearing loss. The decibel (dB) is the unit of measurement for sound intensity. The human ear is capable of hearing whispers and other soft noises. These have a 20 dB volume. Hearing loss can result from ear damage or prolonged loud noise exposure. Hearing loss can occur after just a few hours of exposure to sounds louder than 85 dB, such as those at a rock concert. If you frequently hear loud music or industrial noise, it's wise to wear hearing protection, such as foam earplugs.
