Of all our senses, hearing is one of the easiest to take for granted. Early recognition of hearing loss improves your chances or assisting the problem. Ask yourself the following questions see if you might have a hearing problem:
- Does it seem that people mumble more than they used to?
- Do you have difficulty following a conversation in a crowded room?
- Do people ask you to turn down the volume of the TV or radio?
- Do you have trouble talking with someone a short distance from you?
- Do you often need to ask people to repeat themselves or speak up?
- Do you have trouble hearing the telephone ring?
- Do you seem to hear better from one ear than the other?
- Do you feel as if you hear, but can't understand speech?
- Have you stopped participating in events or meeting because you can't hear well?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you may have a problem with your hearing. More than one "Yes" answer strongly suggests the need for a hearing evaluation.
