How do I know if I have hearing loss?
The best way to establish whether or not you have a hearing loss is to book a free hearing consultation. However, answering yes to any of the following is a good indication that your hearing may well be impaired.
Do you frequently have to ask people to repeat what they have just said?
Do you find that you require the television or radio at a higher volume than your family and friends find comfortable?
Do you find people mumble or talk too quickly?
Do you find deep male voices easier to understand than the softer, sometimes higher pitch of women or children?
Do you find that you sometimes misunderstand conversation?
Do you have difficulty following conversation in a restaurant or in a group of people?
Do you find background noise affects how well you follow conversation?
Do you have difficulty in hearing the doorbell or telephone ring?
Do you find it difficult following conversation on the telephone?
Do you have difficulty locating where a sound is coming from?
Do you have difficulty hearing speech at a distance, such as in church, at a meeting or theatre?
Do you begin to feel tired during long conversations?
Do you notice yourself having to concentrate more in order to follow a conversation?
Have any of your family or friends suggested you have a hearing impairment?
Have you ever been exposed to loud noise during work or leisure activities?
If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, then it is recommended that you have your hearing tested. AJC Hearing will do this free and without obligation in your own home. If you do have a hearing loss we will explain it fully to you and show you what is available from our wide range of digital hearing instruments.
