Hearing Loss Quiz

Here’s an easy test that looks at everyday situations where early signs of hearing loss may be evident:

1. Do you miss some of the dialogue while watching TV?
2. Do you fail to catch all the words spoken by a woman or child?
3. Do you not understand a conversation when there’s background noise?
4. Do you have difficulty understanding when several people are talking at once?
5. Do you have difficulty understanding on the telephone?
6. Do you sometimes not hear the doorbell or telephone ringing?
7. Do some noises bother you (dishes, cups, motors, appliances)?
8. Do you find music to be less enjoyable?

If you answered ‘yes’ at least once, it’s a good idea to have your hearing checked.
