Should I get a Hearing Test?

This list of questions is a good guide of whether you have any hearing issues.

Do you?

• Often feel that other people are ‘mumbling’ or not speaking clearly?
• Have trouble following a conversation when there is background noise present?
• Need to turn the television or radio up and even then, sometimes it is still not clear?
• Often ask people to repeat what they have said?
• Feel stressed or tired when you have to listen for long periods of time?
• Avoid social groups because there is too much noise and you struggle to hear clearly?
• Do friends and family ask if you are having problems hearing?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to two or more of these questions, then we would suggest an in-depth hearing test. This includes a communication test with one of our experienced Audiologists. This will show the type and degree of any hearing loss. And if you need a medical referral and what the best path is for you.

You will have the chance to discuss your concerns. Above all to learn the exact nature of your hearing loss and to think about possible options. We also offer trial periods and demos of our hearing technology. So you can discover just how much you may have been missing out on.

Untreated hearing loss:

• Makes it difficult to stay connected, communicate well, and remain active in the community.
• Makes it harder to follow conversations and is often very tiring. It has also been linked to dementia.
• Can make you feel more isolated and can cause mental health issue such as depression and loneliness.
• Makes listening to the television and radio less enjoyable and using the telephone very challenging.
