Do you always ask people to repeat themselves? Or do people complain that you turn up the volume of your radio or TV too high? These may be the warning signs that you are experiencing hearing loss and need a hearing test done. Here is a list of symptoms:

Asking people to repeat themselves

It’s a major warning sign of hearing loss when you frequently ask people to repeat themselves. You feel like others are always mumbling or conversations are muffled. The high-pitched voices of children may be especially hard to hear.

Difficult Hearing in Noisy Places

Hearing loss makes it tough to hear in places where lots of background noise is present, like in planes, in a restaurant, in a party and particularly when there are a lot of people talking. If you can hear and understand other people, it is possible for you to participate in various activities and family events and remain more active. If you can’t hear well, you won’t be able to participate socially in conversations which may cause mental consequences

Always increasing the Volume

When you're often increasing the volume of your TV or music system to the point that others complain about how loud it is. It is a general warning sign of hearing loss and an indicator that you need a hearing test done

Ringing in Your Ears

Tinnitus, or a ringing sound in your ears, especially after exposure to very loud sounds, may be a warning sign of hearing loss. If the ringing sound doesn't go away, get a hearing test.

Difficulty Talking on the Phone

Hearing loss may cause it difficult for you to hear properly when talking on the phone, especially on a cell phone or in a noisy place where there's lots of background sound. Instead of ignoring calls with your people or having trouble talking on the phone with important business associates, go for a hearing test and take steps to get back your hearing.
