Hearing loss generally develops slowly over many years; the effects become apparent only gradually. This makes it difficult for those affected to recognize that they are actually suffering from a hearing impairment. Relatives, friends or colleagues are often the first to realize that something is wrong.
However, there are clear signs that your hearing is not entirely as it should be.
- Asking people to repeat themselves often.
- Needing to turn up the radio, music, or television more than others.
- Struggling to hear other people’s voices.
- Trouble understanding speech in noisy conditions, like parties, restaurants, or rooms full of people.
- Feeling unusually exhausted after social gatherings or parties.
- Having to focus intensely hard to understand people talking.
- Tinnitus, a ringing/buzzing/humming in the ears.
All these are typical signs of a hearing impairment. But don’t worry; hearing loss is not something simply to be endured. consider going in for a hearing screening
