Hearing naturally decreases with age. Decreases in hearing can also be caused by being exposed to very loud noises all the time without any hearing protection. We only get two ears in our lifetime and we need to protect them.

Can your hearing get worse if you don't wear hearing aids?

This is a tough question, and the exact answer you get may depend on the specific hearing professional you see. The actual hearing loss may not increase if one does not get hearing aids, but your "word discrimination" can decrease. This means that your understanding of words can decrease. The real question is if you are willing to chance your hearing or understanding because you didn't get hearing aids when you were told you needed them. Now, if you are gradually losing hearing, the rate of that happening won't increase if you fail to use hearing aids. Even if you do wear hearing aids, you may still have to switch to stronger ones with time. It is even possible that hearing aids for correcting profound hearing loss might contribute to the loss, particularly if nerve impairment is the issue.
