Hearing loss can come on so gradually, you may not even realize it’s happening. This can help you decide if you may in fact be hearing less than you should.

If that’s the case, visit  a hearing care specialist such as an audiologist or hearing instrument provider. He or she will perform an in-depth assessment to determine the best treatment for you. It’s a good idea to have an annual hearing examination to measure your hearing health over time. This quiz doesn’t take the place of a professional hearing examination; it just helps you identify whether or not it may be worth seeking advice from a hearing care professional.
