Heard
but not seen.
Good hearing is easy to take
for granted. Like most things in life that work well, we often don't
appreciate our hearing until something happens to it. Unfortunately, by then it is
usually too late.

Protect your ability to
communicate with others.
Many people would not think of
protecting their ears in these terms. However, if your hearing is damaged, you will
quickly discover that even simple communication with friends and loved ones can become a
frustrating chore.
"An ounce of
prevention..."
Take a moment to learn how you
can protect your hearing from common environmental hazards. The section on hearing protection will explain how easy it is to
maintain the wonderful sense of hearing.
"What if I'm already
having trouble?"
First of all, begin by
protecting the hearing you have.
Good news! In the vast
majority of cases, hearing loss can be improved.
There is no good reason to
ignore the signs of hearing loss. The time you spend learning about your hearing,
and the choices you make to improve your hearing could be the best investments you have
made in a very long time. |
