What are the signs of hearing loss?

Hearing Without Understanding
Hearing loss is not like listening with the volume turned down. Instead, you may notice that certain spoken sounds - like sh, th and f - are more difficult to hear than others. That's why people with hearing loss often say they can hear people talking but can't understand what is being said.

The Problem Can Grow
While most hearing losses do not cause physical pain, they can lead to social and psychological problems. These include: breakdown of communication, social isolation, employment difficulties, depression, frustration and loss of self-esteem. Untreated hearing loss in children can delay the development of speech, language and learning skills.
Common Symptoms of Hearing Loss
- Does it seem as though others are mumbling when they speak to you?
- Do you have difficulty following group conversations?
- Do you have difficulty understanding on the telephone?
- Do you often ask others to repeat themselves?
- Do you turn up the volume on the TV or radio louder than others prefer?
- Do you have difficulty understanding a conversation when there’s background noise?
- Do you find music to be less enjoyable?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a hearing loss. It is extremely important that you talk to Byron Campisi, H.I.S. He can help you determine the type and degree of your hearing loss and what course of action you can take.
