Warning Signs of Hearing Loss

Millions of Americans suffer from presbycusis, a kind of hearing loss associated with age. The earlier this condition is corrected with a hearing aid or other useful devices, the less it will impact the lives of those who suffer from it. Unfortunately, there are many barriers that can come between a person with hearing loss and medical assistance.

The most common reason that people do not seek early treatment for presbycusis is that its symptoms develop very gradually. People may not realize they are having hearing problems until they become severe. If you suspect you may be having hearing problems, it is always best to ask your doctor. If your hearing is fine, it will be good news. If not, you can receive the assistance you need.

Presbycusis Symptoms

Hearing doctors have identified a number of signs that can alert people to potential hearing loss. You may want to speak with an audiologist if you have experienced any of the following:

• You can hear people's voices, but their words sound blurred or mumbled
• You cannot always hear high pitched sounds like alarm clocks or phones
• Tinnitus (a persistent ringing, hissing, or roaring sound in your ears)
• While some sounds are hard to hear, others have become annoyingly loud
• You have trouble conducting conversations or understanding people on TV

If you or a loved one has experienced these difficulties, the good news is that help is available. Our knowledgeable hearing aid specialists can connect you with the technology and other resources you need to combat hearing loss.
