Hearing loss is a condition that many of us will face during our lifetime. However, since it can happen at a very slow and gradual pace, we often don’t realize when we’re experiencing hearing loss. It’s best to try and treat your hearing loss as quickly as possible because it’s a condition that will get progressively worse without help. The rate at which you lose your hearing can be drastically slowed down with the right assistance, which is why it’s so important to identify it as early as possible. Don’t make mistakes with your hearing loss. Check out these common signs of hearing loss to see if you should visit a hearing specialist.

Asking people to repeat themselves regularly

 It’s perfectly normal to ask someone to repeat themselves if you couldn’t make out what they said. However, if you find yourself doing this on a very regular basis and need to ask someone to repeat themselves multiple times throughout a conversation, then it can get very awkward for both of you. If this is true for you, then you may want to consider booking a hearing appointment to see if it’s hearing loss.

Friends and family members complaining that you have something too loud

 One of the first encounters you might have with hearing loss is being told that you’re putting the volume up too loud on various devices. For example, a family member might tell you to turn the TV down although you can just about hear it, or you might have a friend tell you that you listen to music on a really loud volume. These are very common early signs of hearing loss and while you might get annoyed at someone criticizing how loud you have something, it’s worth keeping it in mind as it’s one of the earliest signs that you have hearing loss.

Muffled sounds that are difficult to make out

 If you feel like certain sounds are muffled and difficult to make out, then you may be experiencing hearing loss. If this doesn’t happen all the time and is more likely to occur when you’re in a crowd or when there’s a lot of noise around you, then it could be an indication that you’re experiencing early hearing loss. If you find that this bothers you and makes it difficult to make out certain sounds such as your phone, doorbell, or even an alarm, then it’s worth speaking to an audiologist soon before it disrupts your lifestyle.

 Difficulty speaking to people when there’s background noise

 It’s normal to find it difficult to have a conversation when there’s a lot of background noise, but if you find it almost impossible to speak to someone in these conditions then it could be an indication of hearing loss. You should be able to have a conversation in a crowd to some extent, but if it’s really stressful and you have to really strain yourself to hear, then it could indicate hearing loss.
