Hearing Loss Is No Laughing Matter
Hearing loss affects more than
just your ears: it can have a profound effect on the rest of your life.
You could feel like you are missing things at work. You could feel
uncomfortable in social situations.
You could even feel stressed or depressed and have no idea why. The
fact is that hearing loss disconnects
you from the world around you –
which can make you feel like something deeper is going on physically
or mentally.
That was the case for me. I got
my hearing tested after I noticed
that people often had to repeat
things to me. Also, my wife pointed
out that I kept turning up the
volume on the TV. The simple test
revealed hearing loss. Working in
construction, riding motorcycles,
woodworking and other loud activities had taken a toll on my hearing.
• If you notice any of these
signs of hearing loss, it’s time
to get tested:
• Do you think people are
mumbling or ask them to
repeat themselves a lot?
There is one simple way to find
out whether the problem is hearing loss or something else: get your
hearing tested.
• Do you have trouble follow-
ing conversations – especially
in noisy places?
• Do you have a hard time
Everyone over age 25 should have
their hearing tested at least once
every five years. A hearing test is
recommended more often for those
who are over age 55 and those who
have been exposed to loud noises
through work or hobbies.

and small children?
• Do others around you think
you listen to the radio or TV
too loud?
