Not your father’s noise factor
Rochester, NY -- Hearing is not just something grandparents have to worry about. Doctors are seeing increasingly more young people diagnosed with hearing loss, some as young as in their 20's.
Jessica Nordhausen, 25, is getting fitted for earplugs to help preserve her hearing. She's in a band with her husband and knows that loud noise could affect her hearing.
Nordhausen said, "There have been times when I've helped set up and tear down that made me a little nervous."
A free hearing screening clinic is being held all day Monday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Rochester Hearing and Speech at 1000 Elmwood Avenue.
For more information call (585) 271-0680.
