How often should I have my hearing checked?

It is generally recommended that adults have their hearing checked at least once every three to five years. However, individuals who are over the age of sixty-five or those who have experienced hearing loss, exposure to loud noises, or any underlying health conditions affecting hearing may benefit from more frequent evaluations, such as annually. Regular hearing assessments are important because they help detect any changes in hearing ability early on, allowing for timely intervention if needed. For children, hearing should be checked at intervals based on their age, especially before starting school, to ensure they are developing appropriately. Hearing Aid HealthCare emphasizes the importance of maintaining regular check-ups to monitor your hearing health and adapt any hearing aids or other assistive devices as necessary. For specific recommendations tailored to individual needs, it is helpful to consult guidelines or check the relevant information available on their current website.
