In most cases, hearing loss\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0happen all at once. In fact, hearing loss can occur so gradually that you may not even notice a change in your hearing until the loss is severe.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re concerned about your own hearing or that of a loved one, consider these common signs of hearing loss:<\/p>\n
1. Others complain that the TV or radio is too loud or others seem to be enjoying the TV at a volume too low for you to hear.<\/p>\n
2. You pretend to follow conversations that you don\u2019t really hear. Often, out of embarrassment, people with hearing loss act as though they understand a conversation, but their participation is limited or seems out of rhythm with others.<\/p>\n
3. You have a particularly hard time hearing women and children speak. This may indicate a problem hearing higher frequencies.<\/p>\n
4. You become frequently annoyed because people don\u2019t speak clearly.<\/p>\n
5. You often ask people to repeat themselves.<\/p>\n

7. The volume on your phone is set on high but you still can\u2019t hear the person you\u2019re talking to.<\/p>\n
