5 Important Ways To Protect Your Hearing and Ear Health

By Alpro Silvercare

December 9, 2024

Hearing loss is more common than you might think. In Malaysia, many people, especially those over 60, experience some degree of hearing difficulty. Factors like aging, loud noise exposure, and even improper ear cleaning habits can harm your hearing over time.

Declining hearing function can make conversations difficult, lead to loneliness, and negatively impact brain health, causing frustration and depression. It also increases safety risks by reducing awareness of important sounds like alarms or traffic, potentially leading to accidents.

Signs of Hearing Loss

Not sure if you’re experiencing hearing loss? Look out for these signs:

Struggling to follow conversations, especially in noisy places.
Frequently asking others to repeat themselves.
Turning up the TV or radio volume higher than usual.
Hearing muffled sounds or ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
Feeling tired or stressed after trying to listen.

If these symptoms sound familiar, it might be time to take action!

Tips to Maintain Healthy Ears and Hearing

Use a Gentle Ear Wax Solution
Earwax is natural and protects your ears, but too much can block sound. Instead of cotton buds, use a gentle earwax solution to clean your ears safely and effectively.
Stop Using Cotton Buds
Cotton buds can push wax deeper into the ear, leading to blockages or damage. Trust us, your ears can clean themselves with a little help from a safe solution.
Get Hearing Tests Twice a Year
Hearing loss often happens gradually, so regular hearing tests can catch problems early. Make it a habit to check your hearing at least twice a year, especially if you’re over 40.
Monitor Your Hearing Regularly
Pay attention to how well you understand speech in everyday conversations. If you notice difficulty understanding people or sounds becoming unclear, it’s time for a check-up.
Protect Your Ears from Loud Noise
Avoid prolonged exposure to loud noises, whether it’s from headphones, concerts, or machinery. Use earplugs in noisy environments and keep the volume at safe levels.
