How do you know if you need a hearing screening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms of hearing loss appear gradually, as it is a progressive condition. Because of this, many do not realize they are suffering from hearing loss for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are the most common symptoms of hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 5 Symptoms of Hearing Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Frequently asking people to repeat themselves.<\/strong>
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Feeling like others mumble when they speak.<\/strong>
A common complaint for people with hearing loss 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

3. Having Trouble Following conversations with background noise.<\/strong>
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 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Turning the volume on the television or radio up.<\/strong>
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Avoiding social gatherings.<\/strong>
Untreated hearing loss 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.
