How can I prevent hearing loss while aging?
The best thing that you can do to prevent hearing loss is to avoid going to loud rock concerts. At these concerts the volume gets up to 90, 100 or even 110 decibels. It really impacts on your hearing and it causes permanent damage. So I see a lot of people that are in their fifties, president Clinton for example, with hearing aids because of their earlier exposure when they were younger to very loud noises. So the best thing you can do to maintain your hearing is to stay away from loud environments like a rock concert.
