Hearing Loss Can Go Unnoticed
Many people with hearing loss that come into Grant Park Hearing Centre are not aware of how much their hearing has changed over the years. Unperceived hearing loss can result from noise exposure, health issues or ageing, and it can impact people of any age.
Signs of Hearing Loss
Too often, family members or friends are the ones that point out that someone they know might have hearing loss. The signs of hearing loss are sometimes more noticeable to others.
- You avoid phone calls or conversations in noisy places
- You need to turn up the television
- You are extra tired after socializing
- You need to ask people to repeat themselves
- Some people are more difficult to understand than others
These are only a few signs of hearing loss. If you ever suspected you might have hearing loss, we recommend scheduling a hearing test to determine the current state of your hearing.
How to Manage Hearing Loss
Hearing is an incredible process that relies on your ears and brain. Challenges with your hearing can be the result of damage or problems at any spot within your hearing system, so the causes and impacts can be complex.
Strategies to manage your hearing loss will be personalized to your hearing. They often include hearing aids, but that is not the only option. We will recommend the options and outline the pros and cons after we complete a hearing test and understand your hearing.
