👂 Is there a way to catch hearing loss early?

Early stages of hearing loss are very subtle, but knowing the signs will put you ahead of the game!
1️⃣ Not hearing high-pitched voices well: Straining to hear 🚸 children and some adults’ voices.
2️⃣ Misunderstanding others: High-frequency consonants like "s" and "f" become hard to hear. Those consonants allow you to tell many words apart from one another.
3️⃣ Hearing fewer high-pitched sounds: Missing 🐦 birds chirping, 🐱 kittens meowing, or doors creaking.
4️⃣ Difficulty pinpointing sounds: Confusing the source of sounds. Was that a knock at the door?
5️⃣ Trouble in noisy environments: It’s harder to hear conversations in restaurants.
6️⃣ Tinnitus or ringing in the ears: 90% of tinnitus cases also have hearing loss.

Keep an eye out for the subtle signs. Your ears (and brain) will thank you! ❤️
