Most hearing loss develops gradually, so the signs are difficult to detect. To make a quick check on how you are hearing, answer these 10 questions. If you answer yes to two or more, then you would benefit from a more thorough audiologic exam.

Do people seem to mumble or speak in a softer voice more than they use to?
YES NO
Do you feel tired or irritable after a long conversation?
YES NO
Do you sometimes miss key words in a sentence?
YES NO
Do you frequently need to ask people to repeat themselves?
YES NO
Do you have difficulty understanding the conversation in a crowded room?
YES NO
Do you often turn the volume up on the TV or radio?
YES NO
Does background noise bother you?
YES NO
Is it sometimes hard to hear the conversation on the telephone?
YES NO
Do you sometimes not hear the doorbell or telephone ring?
YES NO
Are your family or friends complaining about your hearing?
YES NO

If you answered YES to two or more of these questions, you should schedule a hearing test by a doctor of audiology. Following that testing, the audiologist can tell you whether you have a hearing loss, as well as the nature and extent of the hearing loss. If a hearing loss is detected, the audiologist will recommend the appropriate course of action. Please contact us at South Shore Hearing Center if you have any additional questions – we can help!
