If you have been wondering whether or not you have a hearing loss, the following are a few simple guidelines to help you with that determination. Of course the only way to know for sure is to have comprehensive audiological testing from Dr. Birchfield at Hearing Specialists of Northern Michigan.
- You frequently complain that people mumble, speech is not clear, or you hear only parts of conversations when people are talking.
- You often ask people to repeat what they said.
- Your friends or relatives tell you that you don't seem to hear very well.
- You do not laugh at jokes because you miss too much of the story.
- You need to ask others about the details of a meeting that you just attended.
- Others say that you play the TV or radio too loudly.
- You cannot hear the doorbell or the telephone.
- You find that looking at people when they talk to you makes it somewhat easier to understand, especially when you're in a noisy place or where there are competing conversations.
