Today is World Hearing Day, and if you didn’t know that you should check your hearing because I told you like 3 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on a more serious note, you should probably get your hearing checked because a lot of us have had significant hearing loss from being too close to the speakers at concerts and parties, or blasting the volume up on our headsets when we game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such we are not hearing what we could be and the only way to fix it is to get tested. Oticon even has an online test you can do so you don’t have to break level 3 rules if you are in Auckland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can try the test here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even cooler than finding out you are half deaf is tech to help out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oticon’s latest hearing aid is loaded with AI to make the sounds around you more natural and help take the strain off your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corey Ackerman can explain it better so read his quotes below, and if you still don’t get it go get your hearing tested anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
