We first posted these blogs many months ago, but re-posting them has become an annual tradition for Shohet Ear Associates. We are wishing you all a fulfilling, safe and peaceful New Year.
Happy Holidays!
With the holiday season upon us, many families will be coming together to visit and celebrate the season. Relatives and friends who have not had occasion to visit throughout the year may find that the passage of time has brought changes in loved ones—and sometimes that includes a hearing loss.
The reality is that hearing loss is not just an old-age issue. Statistics show an alarming increase in hearing loss among teens and young adults, due in part to the popularity of ear buds and personal music players.
