Common Signs of Hearing Loss
By Robert Hutchcraft
The ability to hear - music, a lively conversation with friends, and the delightful laughter of a child - is truly a gift to be treasured. As we grow older or become subject to illness or injury, however, we run the risk of hearing loss, however mild or severe. At times we may not be aware of this condition, whether we have adapted to the loss unconsciously or are too distracted by vanity to admit that there might be a problem. Nevertheless, it is important to recognize signs of hearing loss and take action as soon as possible, so no permanent damage is done.
This self-examination is designed to determine if you need to consult with a physician about your hearing - it should not be considered medical advice. Oftentimes people may jump to the conclusion that they need surgery or a hearing aid, when in fact their hearing situation may be less severe. Let the questions below guide toward the knowledge you need to take to an otolaryngologist - an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
Problems with the telephone - Do you often experience trouble hearing people on the other line? Does everybody sound distant, or does there appear to be static on the line all the time?
Conversations - Do you have trouble following a group conversation? When you're at a party, is it difficult to hear somebody speak over the background chatter? Do you have to strain to hear people speak?
Television and Radio - Do you find yourself constantly turning up your TV and radio so you can hear better? Are friends and family always complaining about the volume when you sense nothing wrong?
People - Does it always seem like everybody mumbles when they speak? Are you always having to ask people to repeat themselves? Do voices always sound slurred?
If you answered yes to three or more of the above, chances the communication problems you experience are not attributed to others, but to your growing inability to hear. Only a physician, however, can make that diagnosis, therefore it is important to consult with your doctor immediately if you suspect hearing loss. From there it can be determined what options are available to preserve your hearing.
