Hearing Loss Can Happen to Anyone; Financial Education Benefits Center Offers Hearing Aid Benefit

SAN RAMON, Calif., March 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hearing loss doesn't just happen with age. Anyone can suffer from hearing loss, and once it's gone, it's typically gone forever. Loud sounds, including music through headphones, are common culprits of hearing loss. While preventable, hearing loss caused by loud sounds happens slowly and may not be noticed until the hearing receptors in the ears are half gone. Financial Education Benefits Center (FEBC), a membership benefits company, offers a hearing benefit for those suffering from hearing loss.

"It's easy to go through life these days with earbuds in and the sound turned up enough to drown out the outside world," said Jennifer Martinez, Manager at FEBC. "But that habit could damage your hearing permanently."

To prevent hearing loss, experts advise wearing earplugs when prolonged loud sounds are expected. Fireworks, motorcycles, power tools, and concerts can all damage hearing. The louder the sound, and the longer exposure is, the more likely hearing damage will occur.

Hearing loss affects every part of life. Work can become difficult or even further damage the worker's hearing; in professions like construction, hearing warnings from others can be essential to preventing accidents that could result in injury. And recent reports suggest that certain types of hearing loss may be connected to memory loss.

While hearing loss may sneak up on Americans, some warning signs may include turning up the volume on the radio or television, constantly asking people to repeat themselves, missing phone calls, or having difficulty hearing background noises. Anyone who notices any of those symptoms should consider scheduling a hearing exam. And if they need hearing aids, FEBC's hearing benefit is provided with the intention of making the process easier and more affordable.

"It would be a shame to lose your hearing because of habits that are completely preventable," said Martinez. "Imagine not being able to immerse yourself in your music as you once did because the volume won't go up high enough. Hearing loss can sneak up on you, one notch of the volume knob at a time. When it does, FEBC's hearing benefit aims to provide valuable resources for dealing with it."
