Here are some symptoms to look out for if you are
worried that a family member or friend has hearing
loss.
If you are concerned about your own hearing, you
might like to go through our online hearing questionnaire.
Does your family member or friend…
- …have their TV on much louder than is comfortable for
you?
- …lean forward to hear what you are
saying?
- ...feel unsure which direction noises are coming
from?
- …misunderstand you when talking on the
telephone?
- …struggle to hear at the theatre, cinema or in a place
of worship?
- …ask you to repeat yourself?
- …have trouble understanding waiters or sales assistants
when you are out together?
- …say they can't hear the doorbell or the phone
ringing?
If you answered 'yes' to two or more of the above questions your
family member or friend may have some degree of hearing loss. We
suggest you discuss this with them and encourage them to make an
appointment for a free hearing test at their local Amplifon
branch.
