Hearing Loss Adults

How can I tell if I have a hearing loss?

The first step in treating a hearing loss is to realize that one exists. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should contact either your doctor or an audiologist to arrange to have your hearing tested:

• Do you turn up the volume on the television louder than others prefer?
• Do you have difficulty hearing when having a conversation with one or two people?
• Do you have difficulty hearing in groups?
• Are you often asking people to repeat things?
• Do you strain to hear when attending a meeting?
• Do you often mishear or not understand what people are saying to you?

If you have answered "yes" or "sometimes" to most of the above questions, you would appear to have hearing difficulties. We would recommend that you contact us or your nearest hearing specialist for a hearing evaluation.
