Yes, there are several things you can do to protect your hearing. Make sure to wear earplugs or muffs when using loud equipment such as power tools and firearms. Avoid excessively loud music and noise exposure at work and in public places. Get regular hearing tests from a qualified audiologist to monitor your hearing health. Finally, limit your consumption of alcohol, which can be damaging to the ears.
