Noticing The Signs Of Hearing Loss?
Hearing loss is not unusual. One in ten adults in the UK would benefit from wearing a hearing aid, yet only one in thirty has one.*
For most people, finding it a bit harder to hear is just a sign of getting older and one more fact of life. The good news is that there is something you can do about it.
Just as we get our eyes tested and teeth checked regularly, taking good care of our hearing is no less important.
Sounds Familiar?
While only a Hearing Aid Audiologist can determine the exact nature and extent of hearing loss, there are ways to help you tell if hearing has become a problem in your life. It helps to stop and consider your hearing objectively, as most hearing losses occur gradually, and the symptoms are often difficult to recognise.
Early signs that may tell if you have a hearing loss: Do you...
-
say 'what' or 'pardon' frequently?
-
turn up the volume on the TV/radio louder than others prefer?
-
think people seem to often be mumbling or speaking quietly?
-
have frequent misunderstandings when listening on the telephone?
If you answered yes to more than one question above you should consider having a hearing test with one of our Hearing Aid Audiologists at one of our nationwide branches or in the comfort of your own home. Click here to find your closest branch.
