Should I Get My Hearing Tested in My 50s?

by | Aug 8, 2024 | Hearing Test, Patient Resources

Almost 38 million American adults ages 18 and over report some trouble hearing. If you’re reading this and you’ve noticed some struggles with hearing properly but wondered if you were too young to be dealing with a hearing loss, you’re not alone! 

Hearing loss is very normal for young adults of all ages, especially nowadays, where everyday noises can damage your hearing. Remember coming back from a concert or a loud live event with ringing ears? (We’ve all been there!) 

Personalized hearing care isn’t out of reach, whether you’re 50 or about to turn 60. The sooner you get your hearing looked at by an audiologist, the sooner you can get your hearing back on track as you enter your golden years with confidence and care. 

How Can a Hearing Assessment Help Me? 

Getting your hearing tested at fifty years old can provide a myriad of benefits. For many people, hearing care falls by the wayside until the effects of their hearing loss challenge start changing their day-to-day lives – often years after they’ve realized they have a hearing loss at all. 

Missing parts of the conversation, asking for repetition constantly, turning the TV or your music up louder and louder – you don’t notice how hearing loss affects your world. Quite often, other people have to tell you that you might need a hearing test. 

But we see getting your hearing tested as a major positive. Professional hearing care has proven to help far beyond your ears; hearing care, whether that includes hearing aids or not, has proven to improve your mental health, your cognitive abilities, and even help you live longer. 

We see countless adults in their fifties come in for a hearing test at the request of their children or partners, and while they start the appointment feeling skeptical that they need assistance with their hearing, they leave our clinic smiling and confident that they made the right decision. 

The first step of asking for help is always the hardest. But if you’ve read this far, you’re already on the right track.
