Indications of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss may appear in many forms, and can appear either suddenly, as the
result of injuries or trauma, or gradually, due to aging. The hearing loss itself may be
temporary or permanent, and can range from mild (having trouble understanding
conversations) to severe (total deafness). Additionally, a person might experience a
loss of hearing in either one ear or both ears.
You will find many signs and symptoms associated with hearing loss, one of the
more common of which is a growing inability to hear or understand conversations.
People’s speaking voices might seem to be at low volume (as if the speakers were
a long way away), or sound muffled. You might be able to hear folks talking, but be
unable to differentiate specific words,
particularly when more than one person
is speaking or the conversations are in
environments with lots of background
noise.
Other indications that you may have
suffered some hearing loss include
having to turn up the volume on your
radio or television much higher than you
did in the past, being unable to
distinguish certain high-pitched sounds
(such as ‘s’ or ‘th’) from one another, and having greater difficulty hearing women’s
voices than men’s voices. Other forms of hearing loss may be indicated if you
experience a persistent ringing in the ears, feel pain, tenderness or itching in the
ears, and if you have instances of dizziness or vertigo.
One of the difficulties with hearing loss is that it may arise so gradually that people
are themselves not aware of it. Or they may recognize it but display “denial
behaviors” to try to disguise or conceal their hearing loss from other people.
Examples of these kinds of signs include having to ask people to repeat themselves
frequently, avoiding conversations and social situations, acting as if you’ve heard
stuff that you really didn’t, and emotions of depression or isolation.

If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you, it is time to schedule an
appointment with one of our hearing specialists. We can help by starting with a
hearing test to see if you do have hearing loss, and if you have, we can help
determine what to do about it.
