👂 Age-related vs. noise-induced hearing loss — what’s the difference?
Age-related hearing loss
• Happens gradually over time
• Usually affects both ears
• High-pitched sounds and speech become harder to understand
• Conversations in noisy places feel more tiring
Noise-induced hearing loss
• Caused by repeated or sudden loud sounds
• Can happen at any age
• May affect one ear more than the other
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is common
