Signs of Hearing Loss

How do you know if you’re affected by hearing loss? The answer isn’t as obvious as you’d think. For many people, hearing loss comes on gradually enough that they continue to think their hearing is fine, even when it’s not.
But there are signs you can watch for.

Regular check-ups are the best way to know how your hearing health is doing. If you haven’t had a professional exam in a while, ask your regular doctor or visit an audiologist. A check-up once a year is always a good idea. Still, there are signs you might recognize on your own.
