What are the First Signs of Hearing Loss?

“What?”

“I didn’t hear you.”

“Can you repeat that?”

“Speak up.”

If these are statements that you often say to others, it may be time to find out if you have hearing loss. While it is possible to lose your hearing suddenly, this condition happens gradually for many people. In fact, you may not realize how poor your hearing has become until you have it checked by a professional.

Here are some signs that your hearing may be in jeopardy:

·       Sounds are muffled or it seems like people are mumbling when they speak to you.

·       You need to turn up the radio or television volume and others tell you it’s very loud.

·       There is a constant or intermittent ringing in your ears (tinnitus).

·       You misunderstand what people are saying to you.

·       Noisy environments make it even harder to hear other people talking.

·       You find it tiresome to interact with other people because you feel mentally fatigued.

·       You simply ignore conversations because you don’t want to ask others to repeat things.

·       Other people think you are rude because you don’t respond to their comments.
