Do you ever feel like the people you’re talking to are mumbling or speaking too quickly? Are you having to ask others to repeat themselves frequently? Or maybe you’re struggling to follow a conversation when there is background noise?
If so, these could be indicators that you have a hearing loss.
It’s not uncommon for friends and family members to notice we have hearing loss before we do. Most likely, it’s because we use them as a crutch to help fill in the blanks when we are missing parts of a conversation. Or they’ll recognize we’re having a hard time on the telephone. Another common issue is how loud the volume on our TVs is.
If any of this sounds familiar to you, it’s time to get your hearing checked.
