Beware of hearing loss

The onset of hearing loss may occur gradually and often only we realize our difficulties through the reaction of others in our social circle. Hearing loss may be related to age but can also be causedby factors such as prolonged exposure to loud noise, the use of certain medications, family history and others. The questionsbelow may help you analyze if your hearing needs to be checked:

1 - Do you often ask people to repeat what you just said?
2 - Do you prefer the volume of TV or radio louder than others?
3 - People seem to be mumbling when they speak to you?
4 - Do you have ringing in your ears?
5 - You answer the different things that were asked?
6 - Do you feel difficulties during phone conversations?
7 - You hear what people talk but do not understand?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, it is advisable toseek the ENT physician for further evaluation.
