Recognizing a hearing loss in yourself or someone you know is the first
step toward improving the situation. Often, among the first sounds
that "disapear" are those in the higher frequencies, that is sounds that
are high-pitched such as women's and children's voices.
Some other symptoms may
include:
- Difficulty hearing in public
gatherings, concert halls, theatres, houses of worship - anywhere
sound sources are far from the listener.
- Difficulty hearing TV and/or the
telephone.
- Difficulty understanding
conversation within a group of people or crowd.
Individuals affected by hearing
impairment may develop methods for coping with their hearing loss such
as:
- Constantly asking others to
repeat themselves.
- turning their head to one side
when listening to sounds.
- turning up the volume on TV,
radio or stereo.
- avoiding social gatherings.
- misinterpreting spoken
messages.
If a hearing
loss is suspected, an appointment should be made with the
Tru-Tone Hearing Aid Center.
Our caring and professional staff will test and evaluate your hearing to
determine if a hearing aid can help. |
