Dr. Julie advises hunters to be mindful that hearing loss is a gradual process and that it is often not detected until the damage has already been done. Over time a hunter may realize they are having trouble hearing and then take a reactive approach to fixing their hearing situation. She states that hunters may have trouble hearing speech sounds like “s,” “th,” or “f.” The first sign of this type of damage is usually tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, a condition Dr. Julie specializes in treating. “What many people don’t realize is that hearing loss and damage can occur at any age,” stated Dr. Julie. “It is important for hunters to know what low cost hearing protection devices are available and that those devices can provide significant protection to their hearing without compromising the hunting experience.” The Sound Relief Hearing Center helps hunters get protected while still being able to hear vital noises and sounds that make for a successful outdoor venture. With the right tools, hunters can protect their hearing and remain in audible range of game calls and peer conversation.
