 | | Hearing loss does not have to get in the way of your ability to enjoy life. | | | If you have difficulty hearing, see your doctor or hearing health-care professional to find out if you have a hearing loss and, if so, how to treat it. | | | Hearing problems can make you feel embarrassed and upset, as well as lonely. |

| | Sound Advice on Hearing Aids |
| | Sensorineural hearing loss usually can't be repaired surgically; it's usually corrected with a hearing aid. | | | A patient age 18 years or older can sign a waiver for a medical examination, but dispensers must avoid encouraging the patient to waive the medical evaluation requirement. | | | Before you do, determine whether a hearing aid will work for you and what to look for when shopping for one. |

| | This is a useful sign that the hearing protectors are properly positioned. | | | If you suspect a hearing loss, consult a physician with special training in ear care and hearing disorders (called an otolaryngologist or otologist). | | | Even if earplugs and/or muffs are worn continuously while in noise, they do little good if there is an incomplete air seal between the hearing protector and the skin. |

| | Hearing |
| | The threshold of hearing for a particular tone can be raised by the presence of another noise or another tone. | | | The operation of the ear has two facets: the behavior of the mechanical apparatus and the neurological processing of the information acquired. | | | Durations longer than 200ms do not affect loudness judgment, beyond the fact that we tend to stop paying attention to long unchanging tones. |
