Myth or Fact: “I’ll know when my hearing is going bad.”

❌ Myth!
Hearing loss often happens gradually, so slowly that many people don’t realize how much they’ve been missing until it starts affecting conversations, relationships, and daily life.

That’s why regular hearing check-ups are so important. At Optimum Audiology, we’re here to help you stay proactive about your hearing health, because catching changes early makes all the difference.
