RECOGNISING HEARING LOSS!

Hearing loss is rarely sudden or total, unless you are exposed to an exceptionally loud noise or head trauma. It’s usually gradual—sometimes so gradual that your family and friends may notice the problem before you do.

Here are 10 questions to help determine whether you (or a loved one) should have your hearing tested:

Do you have difficulty hearing over the telephone?

Do you have trouble following the conversation when two or more people are talking at the same time?

Do people complain that you turn the TV volume up too high?

Do you have to strain to understand conversation?

Do you have trouble hearing in a noisy background?

Do you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves?

Do the people you talk to seem to mumble or speak unclearly?

Do you misunderstand what others are saying frequently?

Do you have trouble understanding soft speech or voices?

Are people frequently annoyed due to your misunderstanding of what was said?

If you answered “YES” to three or more of these questions, you may want to schedule a professional hearing evaluation with a hearing healthcare professional.

The need to constantly raise the TV volume is a telling sign that one has a hearing loss.

Often the individual with hearing loss is unaware of what they cannot hear. Improvement of hearing could improve their quality of life.

Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time can damage the tiny, fragile cells in the ear that make hearing possible.

Once these cells are damaged, they cannot regenerate. Scientists at HHF are hard at work investigating cures, but nothing is currently available. Harming these cells can also lead to tinnitus, the bothersome sensation of ringing in the ears.

No experience justifies losing hearing. Vow to protect your ears today, on , and every day.
