A member asked:

I'm concerned about losing my hearing! only 16! help!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get hearing tested.: You should have a hearing test. Make sure you don't listen to loud music, esp. W/ headphones on. You can turn the volume down on your cell phone, tv and stereo. If you are constantly exposed to loud noises, such as near a construction site, then consider wearing earplugs. Make sure you can still hear sounds, such as a car coming when you cross the street.
