Notable Quotes from Dr. Hullar
Dr. Huller on the causes of hearing loss:
“What I tell my patients is that anytime that their ears ring after theyheard a loud sound or have been listening to loud music that they've damaged their ears. And it's kind of a general rule of thumb, but it helps them understand that a lot of exposures that we consider to be relatively benign are actually causing damage. Something like a lawn mower or something like an engine that's nearby can definitely cause hearing loss.”
