Hearing loss can often go unnoticed, especially when it occurs gradually. Mild to moderate hearing loss is not a complete lack of hearing, but it can affect communication and daily activities. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these signs, it may indicate that a hearable could improve your day-to-day life. You can hear perfectly well in quiet surroundings, but as soon as you are in a noisy environment or in a room with challenging acoustics, then the challenges begin.
Do you experience any of the following?
- Difficulty Understanding Speech: Trouble following conversations, especially in noisy environments and challenging acoustics.
- Asking for Repeats: Frequently asking others to repeat themselves.
- Turning Up the Volume: Increasing the volume on the television or radio higher than usual.
- Straining to Hear: Feeling like you have to concentrate hard to understand what’s being said.
- Hearing Consonants Poorly: Difficulty hearing higher-pitched sounds like a, t, and f sounds, or differentiating between consonants, making speech unclear.
- Social Withdrawal: Avoiding social situations due to difficulty hearing or understanding.
- Fatigue After Conversations: Feeling mentally exhausted after trying to keep up with conversations.
- Misunderstanding Words: Frequently misinterpreting what people say, leading to confusion in conversation.
- Tinnitus: Experiencing ringing or buzzing in the ears.
You may have mild to moderate hearing loss if you identify with just a few of these symptoms. Early intervention can significantly affect your quality of life and improve communication.
