Hearing loss is one of the most common changes that comes with aging. But what exactly does it mean to lose your hearing? And how does simply perceiving sound differ from truly understanding it? In this episode, we speak with Douglas L. Beck, Au.D., F-AAA, CCC-A, Senior Director of Audiology at EssilorLuxottica Inc, to break it all down. He walks us through the most common causes of hearing loss, early warning signs and symptoms, how hearing is assessed and diagnosed, and the latest in screening tools and intervention devices. Whether you're noticing changes in your own hearing or want to better understand how it affects someone you love, this conversation offers essential insights into how we hear – and what happens when that ability begins to change.
