When it comes to getting your body in top shape, Hollywood celebrities
and professional athletes have turned to celebrity fitness trainer Gunnar Peterson
for three decades.So when Gunnar started having difficulty hearing at
work and home, he did what he preaches to his clients: he attacked the
problem and got a pair of hearing aids. Now as a hearing loss advocate,
Gunnar offers the following tips to get your hearing in shape this
fall.* Be "present" with your hearing: Being present with your hearing
means being aware of how you hear throughout the day. If your family
members are complaining the TV is too loud, or if you’re the one
complaining that everyone else is mumbling, you may have a hearing
problem that needs to be corrected.* Get your hearing checked: At least
once a year, you go to the doctor for a physical, or to get your
eyesight checked. But when was the last time you got your hearing
checked? Even if you’re not having issues right now, just go and get a
baseline to compare it to in the future.* Preserve your current hearing:
Noise-induced hearing loss is a problem that is completely preventable.
If you work around a lot of noise, you need to use protection. If you
go to loud concerts or enjoy firing up the leaf blower or lawnmower on
the weekend, use protection. Remember, once you lose your hearing, it
doesn’t come back.* Don’t brush off tinnitus: If you have an annoying
ringing or buzzing in your ears, especially when it’s quiet, it may be
tinnitus. Tinnitus and hearing loss often go hand-in-hand, so don’t
brush it off as a minor annoyance. Go see a hearing care professional
and have it checked out.Consider invisible hearing aids: If you need
hearing aids but are worried people will judge you if they see you
wearing them, know that invisible hearing aids such as the Phonak Lyric
exist. They are 100 percent invisible and can stay in your ears for
months at a time. A recent study even showed that Lyric relieves
tinnitus faster than regular hearing aids, thanks to 24-hour
amplification.
