HEARING HEALTH AND FITNESS
Our ability to hear is amazing. Treat your ears like the
precious tools they are, and they will continue to provide
you with exceptional data, as well as a lifetime of incredible
sonic experiences.
In general, do not listen “too loud or for too long,” and be
attentive to your own ears. Ringing, discomfort, or sensitivity
to high frequencies and treble may be a signal from your ears
that you are pushing them to their limits and causing damage.
As a general practice, find what seems to be your preferred
listening level and then adjust the volume down another 10%
or more. Surprisingly, your ears will attune to a slightly lower
volume over time, and what seems quiet at first can be perfect
for longer listening periods.
If your co-workers (3 – 10 feet away) are always singing along
or commenting on your music choices, chances are good
you may be listening too loud. See an audiologist to have your
hearing tested.
If you are interested in tuning your ear to have a more refined
sonic palate, there are some apps and training programs you
can find online.
