Hearing protection
Exposure to certain kinds of noise can permanently damage your
hearing. As prevention is possible, and a complete cure is
not, Leightons HearingCare provides advice and, more importantly, a
range of specialist hearing protection products.
An estimated 10% of the world's population have some degree
of hearing
loss. The terrible truth is that about a third of them
sustained damage to their ears unnecessarily, and now many may
require hearing assistance in the form of a digital
hearing aid.
You won't be surprised to know that excessive exposure to sound
damages sensitive parts of the inner ear. The damage can be
caused by a brief but intense noise, such as an explosion, or from
regular exposure to noise. Unfortunately, people who spend a
lot of time in a noisy environment grow so accustomed to it that
they forget about the danger. That is why it makes sense to
protect your hearing.
The good news is that hearing loss caused by exposure to
recreational and occupational noise is preventable in almost 100%
of cases. Leightons HearingCare can
provide basic ear plugs or custom hearing protection for almost any
noisy environment.
