Hearing loss is not just a problem of old age it often begins in the early 40s, especially among women. Hormonal changes, lifestyle factors, and unnoticed early symptoms can contribute to gradual hearing decline. The good news? With early detection and the right support, Hearing Loss can be managed effectively.

Why Women Over 40 Are at Risk

As women enter their 40s, their bodies go through various hormonal changes, including declines in estrogen levels. Estrogen plays a role in maintaining the health of auditory pathways. Lower levels can make women more susceptible to Hearing Loss, particularly high-frequency loss, which is harder to detect initially.
