Do I Need to Have My Hearing Tested?
|
No one wants to admit that they might have hearing loss. But it’s important to recognize not only your own need for help, but the effect your loss of hearing may be having on those around you. When you become dependent on your family members and friends to clarify things for you or constantly ask for sentences to be repeated, it puts unnecessary strain on your relationships. Getting a hearing test is simple, painless and complimentary but it might be the most important thing you do for yourself and your loved ones, not to mention your social life.
Conduct a few simple tests on your own and take notes about how and when your hearing is most affected to determine if you should get a hearing test.
Are you able to hear what’s being said in the conference room? Do your business associates have to constantly repeat things for you? Do you turn the television volume up as high as it will go while others in the room beg you to turn it down? If you and a friend have lunch at a café, can you easily understand the conversation and respond to his (or her) questions correctly?
Can you understand the waitress and place an order without assistance? Do you find yourself shying away from conversations, movies or groups because you find that it’s just too hard for you to comprehend and decipher sounds? If you struggle to hear and understand what’s going on around you when placed in similar situations, don’t hesitate to schedule a hearing test.
Improving your hearing is a positive start to enjoying life and the wonderful relationships we develop along the way.
