Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is a health concern that often goes unrecognized and untreated. Did you know that nearly 40% of all Canadians between the ages of 20 and 79 have at least slight hearing loss in one or both ears? At Sun Country Hearing in Estevan and Weyburn, our aim is to assist those experiencing hearing loss and help improve their quality of life.
Symptoms of Hearing Loss
- Muffled speech and sounds
- Difficulty understanding words, which is made worse with background noise
- Frequently asking others to speak more slowly, clearly, and loudly
- Difficulty hearing consonants
- Turning up the TV or radio
- Avoiding loud social settings like parties, restaurants, sporting events.
How Hearing Loss Occurs
Hearing loss can happen both acutely and gradually. Causes can include, damage to the inner ear, ear infections, abnormal bone growth or tumors, ruptured eardrum, or earwax buildup. Many factors can contribute as well, such as your genes, aging, occupational and recreational noise, medications, and some illnesses.
How To Prevent Hearing Loss
Limit the amount of time you’re exposed to noise
Wear hearing protection (earmuffs, foam earplugs, custom hearing protection)

Avoid medications that can be harmful to your hearing
