🦻 Hearing Loss: What Really Causes It — And What You Can Do


 

You find yourself asking people to repeat themselves.

Turning up the TV louder than usual. Missing the soft chime of a doorbell or a bird singing outside.

Hearing loss often starts quietly — not with pain, but with absence.

And while it’s common — affecting nearly 1 in 3 people over age 65 — it’s not something you should ignore.

The truth? 👉 Most hearing loss cannot be reversed by “miracle drops” or DIY remedies. But much of it can be managed effectively — if you understand what’s really going on.

Let’s explore the real causes of hearing loss, separate myth from fact, and learn what actually helps — so you can protect your hearing and stay connected to the world around you.

Because real healing isn’t about magic. It’s about listening — even when silence creeps in.
