Know before you mow. The average lawnmower comes in at around 90 decibels and weed trimmers can crank up to 105 decibels. Noise above 85 decibels can cause noise-induced hearing loss. Consider investing in a pair of quality ear muffs - about $20-25 at most hardware stores.

Struggling to keep up with the conversation at holiday gatherings can be exhausting for a person with hearing loss. Holiday music and dimly lit rooms add to the effort. If you have a favorite family member or friend with hearing loss, give them a break from the noise. Move to a quieter corner for one-on-one conversation or invite them to join you in the kitchen where fewer people are gathered.

Think twice before climbing that ladder! During the holiday season, approximately 5,800 persons are treated in the emergency room for falls, mostly associated with decorating. People with hearing loss are nearly three times more likely to be at risk of falls. A Washington University study suggests that balance may improve for older adults with hearing loss when they use hearing devices.

Help loved ones with hearing loss join in the holiday merriment. Speak a little louder and clearer, slow down a bit, and face them directly. This may be an opportunity to gently suggest they consider a hearing evaluation. The right hearing solution can make future holidays a lot merrier for all!
Turn the music down and the lights up for a holiday party that everyone, especially people with hearing loss, can enjoy. Softer music encourages people to speak more softly, reducing the overall noise level. Brighter lighting allows people to more easily see faces and read lips. Find more communication advice
