Symptoms of Hearing Loss

If you suspect you have hearing loss, consider these questions:

• Do you often ask others to repeat themselves?
• Have friends or family members told you that you do not hear well?
• Do you turn up the TV or radio louder than others prefer?
• Is it difficult to understand conversation when there is background noise?
• Do you have difficulty following group conversations?
• Do you find it difficult to identify from which direction sounds are coming?

If you answered yes to three or more of these questions, you may have a hearing loss.
