As we get older our hearing generally will decrease gradually. As a result of this gradual decline we may not realise we are missing sounds, and not even realise that we have any hearing loss! So how can you tell if you might have hearing loss?
- Are you needing frequent repetitions?
- Do people sound as though they are mumbling?
- Do you have difficulty hearing in background noise?
- Do you have ringing in the ears (tinnitus)?
- Is this TV or radio turned up too loud?
- Do you have difficulty hearing on the phone?
- Are you feeling exhausted or stressed from straining to hear?
- Do you avoid social situations because you are having trouble keeping up with conversations?
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, you should have your hearing checked! Call us on 9800 5697 or 9839 3350 to arrange a hearing test.
