About six months ago, I noticed I couldn’t hear my gym instructors clearly. At first, I chalked it up to the loud music, but then I realized it wasn’t the background noise, it was me.

In this episode, I’ll share:

  • What hearing loss is, and how it often changes as we age
  • Why hearing aids feel so different from reading glasses, and why that hit different for me
  • What we can do to protect our hearing, reduce the risks of dementia, and adapt when hearing loss happens to us as individuals, teachers, or learners

As always, I’ll also point out some advanced English expressions like to chalk it up, the rub, and to chide yourself, among others.

Listen now, and test out your listening skills in this intermediate English and advanced English language podcast episode.

Hear You Go English language listening podcasts aim to give you, the intermediate English language learner and advanced English language learner, a space to practice your English listening so that you can think, learn, and connect in English.
