Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of protecting hearing, particularly during the summer when outdoor sounds are prevalent. Audiologist Deanna Meinke highlights the need for individuals to appreciate their favorite sounds, such as laughter and music, to foster a greater value for hearing. As people age, hearing loss is inevitable, and research by otolaryngologist Frank Lin indicates a connection between hearing health and cognitive function. The article also introduces a free app called Hearing Number, which allows users to assess their hearing at home, and offers practical advice on how to protect hearing from loud noises, including the use of earmuffs or specialized earplugs.
