With the way people are abusing their ears with loud music and frequent use of earphones, Audiologist Jobs would never run out. Before, people who were deaf were usually the elderly and those who were really hearing-impaired. However, nowadays, relatively young people have a hard time hearing. In my previous office, we were accused of being very noisy and talking out loud. We never really thought about it but, we could not really hear very well. I admit I sometimes have difficulty in catching some words when somebody speaks in a normal tone. We just pass it off and joke about our hearing conditions but maybe we are really slowly becoming deaf because of too much noise pollution and we’re not even aware of it.
