Are You Experiencing Hearing Problems?
You may have noticed difficulty with your hearing at some point, but how do you know for certain if those problems are minor? It’s possible you might have some significant underlying hearing problems without fully realizing their severity.
Answer the questions in one of these short quizzes to determine if you need to see an audiologist!
Let’s Check Your Hearing
It’s important to hear well, no matter what your age. That’s because the risks of untreated hearing loss have been closely associated with:
- Depression
- Dementia
- Tinnitus
- Falling
Plus, hearing well impacts your relationships, work life and even your income. Your answers to this quiz can help you determine if you need a diagnostic hearing evaluation.
If you are 50 years old or older, many professional organizations recommend a baseline diagnostic hearing examination be performed by a doctoral-level audiologist in a sound-proof booth. This is the gold-standard of care.
Is It Time to Re-check Your Hearing?
Many people who have been diagnosed with hearing loss:
- Don’t wear hearing aids.
- Wear them occasionally.
- Need them adjusted.
- Need new hearing aids.
If you’ve ever been diagnosed with hearing loss or wear hearing aids, you might benefit from an updated hearing evaluation performed by a doctoral-level audiologist. In addition, an audiology practice should use real-ear verification and check your current hearing aids to see how well they are working for you and make any adjustments necessary.
