How Do I Know if I Have Hearing Loss?

Do you keep turning up the TV or asking people to repeat themselves? That might be more than just a bad connection. Hearing loss can sneak up slowly, making it easy to miss the early signs. Many people don’t realize they’re struggling to hear until it starts affecting their daily life and relationships.

Common Signs of Hearing Loss

If you notice one or more of these signs, it may be time to get your hearing checked:

• Turning up the volume on the TV, radio, or phone higher than others prefer.

• Frequently asking people to repeat themselves or saying “What?” more often than you used to.

• Difficulty following conversations—especially in noisy environments like restaurants.

• Feeling like people mumble or their speech sounds unclear.

• Struggling to hear on the phone, even when the line is clear.

• Avoiding social situations because it’s frustrating or exhausting to keep up.

Why Early Detection Matters

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ears—it can impact your brain health, emotional well-being, and quality of life. Studies have linked untreated hearing loss to social isolation, cognitive decline, and even depression. The sooner you identify it, the easier it is to treat and prevent further decline.
