Sound unites us

We’re proud to partner with amazing people who make a difference in the lives of those with hearing loss. To celebrate our shared purpose, we asked hearing healthcare professionals to tell us their favorite sounds.  Thanks for sharing.

Signs of hearing loss

If you suspect you are experiencing hearing loss, consider these questions:

• Do you often ask others to repeat themselves?
• Do you turn up the TV or radio louder than others prefer?
• Is it particularly difficult to understand conversation when there is background noise?
• Does it often seem as though others are mumbling when they speak to you?
• Do you have difficulty following group conversations?
• Do you find it difficult to identify from which direction sounds are coming?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a hearing loss. It is extremely important that you talk to a hearing healthcare professional, who can help you determine the type and degree of your hearing loss and what course of action you can take.
