11 My reply to you is, “Are you willing to risk it, to take the chance?” Because you just might lose the gamble and end up with hearing loss, or ringing in your ears, or both. Because of the hearing loss, I can't make out certain sounds, and that sometimes makes it hard for me to understand what is being said. (I hesitate to keep asking people to repeat things.) It's even harder to understand everything when there's background noise, like in the cafeteria or a fast food place. As for my future, I worry about what will happen when I have a job. What if I can't clearly understand directions?

12 If I could turn back the clock, I'd treat my hearing with the respect it deserves. After all, a hearing problem isn't as easily corrected as a vision problem. And once you've lost your hearing, you don't get it back.

13 So think in terms of prevention—just like wearing seatbelts or using sunscreen—and think of me as your “anti-example.” If you pay attention to the sounds around you, maybe you'll still have solid hearing when you're twenty . . . or forty . . . or sixty.
