The hearing loss that most people experience can be so gradual that they might not realize their hearing is impaired. Instead, they deal with insidious hearing loss by accepting it as normal. However, there is nothing normal about hearing sounds and voices that seem muffled, or finding that higher pitched sounds (such as children’s voices) are more difficult to hear. If you recognize such symptoms, you may want to ask yourself if you frequently request that people repeat what they have just said to you, or if you generally find it harder to understand conversation, particularly in noisy environments. These are just a few of the many symptoms of hearing loss that should lead to a comprehensive hearing test.

P.S. As a result of ignoring hearing loss, people with hearing loss may sometimes find that those around them would rather avoid conversations than have to repeat themselves.
