Does this happen with you?? 1. You have trouble hearing on the telephone. 2. You have trouble following a conversation when many people are talking at the same time. You feel lost during conversations. 3. The family (or your neighbor!) complains that your TV is too loud 4. You’re tired from straining to hear conversations. 5. You have trouble hearing in noisy environments. 6. You say “What?” a lot. 7. People don’t seem to speak clearly. 8. You misunderstand what people say. 9. You have trouble hearing children and women. 10. You become annoyed and frustrated during conversation. If you recognize just one or two of these signs, your hearing may not be affected. Even people with perfectly normal hearing experience times where we have trouble understanding someone or hearing in challenging environments. However, if you frequently recognize more than a few of these signs or any other common hearing loss symptoms, getting a baseline hearing test is a good idea. Hearing loss is well-understood and there are solutions to fit every budget. The testing is easy and painless, too! So, act today and call a hearing care professional (Audiologist) near you to get back to hearing your best!
