Evaluate Your Hearing

Do you feel that you have difficulties hearing? Or are you curious about possible symptoms of hearing loss? Then take this short evaluation. It’s quick, painless and easy and it could be your first step to better hearing and living life to its fullest.

This evaluation does not replace a professional hearing test. But, the results might indicate whether or not it may be worth seeking advice from a hearing care professional.

Do you suspect that your hearing is not as good as it used to be? The following questions will allow you to make a quick assessment:

1. Do people seem to mumble or speak in a softer voice than they used to?
2. Do you feel tired or irritable after a long conversation?
3. Do you sometimes miss key words in a sentence, or frequently need to ask people to repeat themselves?
4. When you are in a group, or in a crowded restaurant, is it difficult for you to follow the conversation?
5. When you are together with other people, does background noise bother you?
6. Do you often need to turn up the volume on your TV or radio?
7. Do you find it difficult to hear the doorbell or the telephone ring?
8. Is it difficult to carry on a telephone conversation?
9. Do you find it challenging to pinpoint the location of the object (e.g. an alarm clock or a telephone) from the noise it makes?
10. Has someone close to you mentioned that you might have a problem with your hearing?

If you have answered "yes" to one or more of the above questions you will benefit from a hearing consultation.
