Question: Will I lose my hearing as I age?
Answer: Hearing diminishes with age, and it fades more rapidly in men than in women, especially for higher tones.
According to Interactive Leonardo, you should have your hearing checked in your 40s if you suspect hearing loss now and in the years to come. Wearing earplugs and avoiding high decibel environments will help prevent hearing loss.
