Taking part in the prevention of hearing loss - Profound Health

Atlanta, Georgia ? January 19, 2012 ? Regular check-ups and safety equipment are two of the most important ways to prevent hearing loss according to John?s Creek Ear Nose And Throat, a specialty ENT practice in Atlanta. As more and more Americans are fitted with hearing aids each year, hearing loss is a serious problem in the United States. However, most hearing loss can be prevented easily. Some hearing loss prevention techniques are well known but not widely followed. ENT professionals recommend ear plugs for concertgoers, for instance, and for people who regularly work with loud equipment. Specially designed earplugs are available for musicians and other individuals who need ear protection without any loss in ability to differentiate different frequencies. These specialized earplugs can be fitted by ENT doctors and are designed for individual wearers, and over time, they can provide essential protection that might save wearers from needing hearing aids later in life. Regular checkups are also important, especially when patients are experiencing symptoms like dizziness or temporary hearing loss, as these symptoms can be indicative of serious diseases and injuries. Specialist ENT physicians may be able to recommend ear dizziness treatment or other treatments that can help to prevent temporary ear problems from leading to hearing long-lasting issues. When people do need hearing aids, digital options and other advanced aids can be used for incredible improvements. Modern hearing aids are also subtle and can be worn very discreetly. Patients with hearing loss should look for a capable ear, nose and throat surgery specialist and should discuss the different available options with their physicians. A spokesperson for John?s Creek Ear Nose And Throat noted that more information about hearing loss prevention and hearing aids is available on the company?s website, http://www.northeastatlantaent.com/.
