Hearing Loss Survey

There are several signs that should warn you, and probably have already warned your family, that you may have a hearing loss. If you answer yes to three or more of the following statements, you should consider scheduling an appointment with an audiologist to assess your hearing.

I ask people to repeat themselves.

I need the radio or TV louder than other family members.

I avoid participating in groups because I don't hear well.

I have difficulty understanding people on the phone.

I try to avoid small talk at family gatherings.

I notice that background noise seems to drown out voices.

I find it necessary to watch people with whom I am speaking.

I am bothered by loud sounds.

I have arguments with family members because of my hearing.

I guess about what people say, and often am wrong.

I have trouble with unexpected speech or rapid speech.

I complain that people do not talk clearly anymore.

I cannot easily locate the direction that sound is coming from.

I have ringing or other sounds (tinnitus) in my ear(s).
