Frequently asking people to repeat themselves.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Missing parts of the conversation is infuriating. Once this begins to happen, you probably have found yourself asking others to repeat themselves; this can be just as frustrating on their end as it is on yours. Contact your Louisville audiologist to help alleviate the burden you are placing on your friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling like others mumble when they speak.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A common complaint Louisville audiologists hear is that everyone has started mumbling. While there could be a reason everyone around you started mumbling at once, the more likely scenario is that you are experiencing hearing loss, which would make it harder for you to hear others, specifically women and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having Trouble Following conversations with background noise.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you realized it is harder for you to carry on a conversation in a busy restaurant or venue than it is in your own home? This is because background noise<\/a> makes hearing more difficult, as your brain has to work harder to distinguish speech from other sounds. Constantly straining to hear can lead to both mental and physical exhaustion. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning the volume on the television or radio up.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you may not notice that you have turned the television or radio up to an unsafely loud volume, every other person in your household will, especially if they make the mistake of trying to listen to something after you. It only takes one incident before they start asking you to visit your Louisville audiologist<\/a>.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding social gatherings.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Untreated hearing loss<\/a> can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety and loneliness. These feelings are often escalated when those with hearing loss begin turning down invitations to social gatherings as it is easier to simply stay home than to deal with the frustration that comes from trying to communicate with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being aware of these signs can help you identify when you are experiencing a problem. Contact to your Louisville audiologist to get started.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
