Many viewers believe Christopher Nolan's, ‘The Odyssey’, is too loud (even if they enjoyed the film overall).

While viewing the film, decibel readings frequently register between 100 and 125 dB with viewers reporting shaking theater seats, ringing in their ears, and drowned-out dialogues.

If you saw the film, did you have the same experience?

7️⃣ Reasons to Get Your Hearing Tested

Too often, people delay getting a hearing test because they don’t realize that testing and treating their hearing loss can transform their lives. Here are the top reasons to get your tested:

👩🏻‍⚕️ Rule out a serious medical issue. Hearing loss can also be an early sign of cardiovascular problems, diabetes, or dementia. Get tested immediately if you notice a change in your hearing or balance or have tinnitus or difficulty understanding speech.

🧠 Reduce the risk of brain shrinkage and memory problems. Hearing loss is associated with accelerated brain atrophy, especially in the area of the brain used for short-term memory.

🤷 Decrease the chance of mental decline from dementia. Countless studies show that untreated hearing loss speeds up age-related cognitive decline.

🏆 Improve productivity at work—and increase your paycheck. When you have hearing loss, your brain utilizes resources that would otherwise go toward problem-solving.

🏃‍♂️Keep active and prevent the gradual onset of social isolation and depression. Decreased hearing ability can lead to decreased social activity. Decreased activity leads to isolation, which may then lead to depression.

🧘 Reduce stress and fatigue. Active listening (concentrating on what’s being said) can be tiring for anyone. For someone with hearing loss, it can be exhausting.

🧍🏼‍♂️🧍🏻‍♀️Enhance the lives of your family members, coworkers, and friends. One of the most overlooked factors is how hearing loss affects other people. Communication is a two-way street, and hearing loss may affect your loved ones as much as it affects you.
