Treatment

~Reduce the amount of time exposed to everyday noises
~Wear ear plugs or a special type of ear muffs
~Hearing Aids (most older people find these to be the most beneficial to maximize hearing and better understand speech)
~Assistive listening devices such as a built in telephone amplifier
~FM system that makes sounds clearer by delivering sound waves like a radio
~Speech reading, using visual cues to understand what's being said
