Baby Boomers are living life to the fullest with HearPod hearing aids
Baby boomers don't like settling for second best. Born between 1946 and 1964, baby boomers have experienced (and been responsible for) the greatest technological innovations in mankind's history. Venturing beyond the status quo, whether in lifestyle or sending a man to the moon, baby boomers have redefined what it means to live life to the fullest.
The age of baby boomers has also brought new risks to hearing health. Baby boomers are the first generation to be exposed to electronically amplified sound. Perhaps a defining image of youth for this generation is that of booming drums and squealing electronic guitars played by rock bands like The Grateful Dead. Today, hearing experts know that prolonged exposure to loudly amplified music can cause permanent hearing loss. In fact, many cases of hearing loss among baby boomers can be traced to their youth when they listened to, or played in rock bands.
Baby boomers are also the first generation to be exposed to common environmental sounds such as electric blenders, lawn mowers and job site machinery, which over time, can produce hearing loss.
As a result, many baby boomers are thought to be the first generation to notice hearing loss while still in their 40s and 50s, redefining what it means to have hearing loss. Previously, hearing loss was associated with age, but it is increasingly recognized as a common result of a person having an active "full on" life. Famous baby boomers with hearing loss.
Ignoring hearing loss is unwise. Hearing loss impacts one's ability to communicate clearly with friends, family and co-workers, and can damage relationships. It can even lead to divorce and job loss. Hearing health professionals know that when the brain doesn't receive complete nerve impulses from the ears, it can actually "forget" how to process sounds into meaningful words. If not corrected early, this condition can become permanent.
During an October, 2005 broadcast of CNN's Larry King Live show, well-known physician, Dr. Andrew Weil, cited a recent study performed to guage baby boomers' health concerns for the future. The study revealed the two greatest concerns are inability to live independently, and loss of cognitive ability. Maintaining optimum hearing health is key to preventing these conditions.
