Do I have a hearing loss?

How can you tell if you have a hearing loss? It is a bit hard. 500 million people in the world have a loss and are doing nothing about it! It is said that in the United States at least 1 out of 4 people over the age of 50 have hearing loss that could be helped with hearing aids. Are you one of them?

If you answer "yes" to any 2 of these questions, then you should have your hearing checked.

• Do you ask people to repeat?
• Do you think people mumble?
• Are you turning the TV up too loud for others?
• Do you hear but sometimes misunderstand what is being said?
• Do you sometimes miss the punch line of a joke?
• Does background noise interfere with your understanding?
• When everyone is talking all at once is it hard to understand the person you are talking to?
• Do you shy away from going to a social event, because it is too hard to understand what is being said?
• Does the telephone sound louder in one ear than the other?
• Is it harder to understand women and little children than men?
• Does music sound a bit dull, not bright as it used to?
• HAVE OTHERS (SPOUSE, FAMILY, OR FRIENDS) ASKED YOU TO HAVE YOUR HEARING TESTED?
• Will it matter to you if one day you might not be able to understand anyone?
