What Can You Do If Someone You Care About Has Difficulty Hearing?
If someone you know suffers from hearing loss, you already know it's a challenging time for everyone close to that person including family, friends, colleagues and coworkers.
Sometimes, the change can be so gradual or subtle that you're not sure whether it's actually a hearing loss. Unlike many conditions, hearing loss is often hard to detect in its early stages.
Common Signs of Hearing Loss
Some of the most common indicators of hearing loss include:
- turning up the volume of the TV or radio
- problems hearing the doorbell or the telephone ringing
- difficulty hearing people calling and talking from behind or in another room
- asking people to repeat themselves or saying "what?" frequently
- misunderstanding or "forgetting" what has been said or agreed upon
- often cupping hands behind the ears

Are You Hearing Everything Life Has To Offer? |
|
Hearing loss is a natural part of getting older. Already at age 20, we've lost the ability to perceive some of the sounds infants can hear. By the time we reach 30 or 40, subtle—but significant—losses have begun to occur. Once we reach our 80s, more than half of us suffer from significant hearing loss.
With the added factor of prolonged exposure to high intensity noise at work and at home, hearing impairment is becoming even more common at an earlier age. More than half of all people with hearing challenges today are still in the workforce.

If I had a hearing loss, wouldn't my family doctor have told me? |
|
Only about 13% of physicians routinely screen for hearing loss. Since most people with hearing impairments hear just fine in quiet environments (like your doctor's office), it can be very difficult for your physician to recognize this problem. Only a trained hearing professional can determine the severity of your hearing problem, whether or not you could benefit from a hearing aid, and which type would be best for you |
