We all want to maintain our hearing. No one wants to be told we have hearing loss. A part of ear care would be to include yearly ear examinations.
Here are some suggestions on how to protect our ears and hearing:
1.In a loud noise environment, try using earplugs.
2. Eliminate the need to shout over sounds (ex. Clubs, concerts, lawnmowers, and chainsaw).
3. During social events try to maintain a volume that does not require shouting conversations.
4. Include ear recovery time. Take 5-minute break when working in a noisy environment.
5. If one enjoys listening to loud music, try to incorporate listening to soothing music at a lower volume.
6. Stay physically active.
“Yet to this day the LORD has not given you a heart to know, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear” (Deuteronomy 29:4).
