Determine If You May Have a Hearing Loss
If you feel you may be suffering from a hearing loss, but are not sure, please ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you have difficulty understanding people when they speak to you?
- Do you find yourself asking people to repeat what they just said?
- Do you feel that people talk too low or “mumble”?
- Do you have to ask friends or family members what others are saying?
- Do you tune out in social situations due to not being able to follow conversations?
- Do you have the television or radio volume much higher than others feel is necessary?
- Do you not hear the doorbell or telephone ring?
- Do you find that when people speak directly to you, it is easier to understand?
- Do family members tell you that you may have a hearing loss?
If you answered “yes” to one or more of the above questions, you may have a hearing loss. We encourage you to visit a Zounds hearing center for an evaluation.
