Hearing Loss Self-Test

The onset of hearing loss is usually very gradual. It may take place over 25-30 years, or it may happen more rapidly if you are exposed to loud noises at work or through hobbies. Because it usually occurs slowly, you may not even be aware that you have a problem until someone brings it to your attention. Here is a simple test you can take to determine if you have a hearing loss.
  • 1. Do others complain that you watch television with the volume too high?
    Yes or No?

    Yes or No?
  • 3. Do you have difficulty understanding what is being said when in groups or noisy situations?

  • 6. Do you have trouble knowing where sounds come from?
