Signs and Symptoms of Hearing Loss to look out for
By Soundrich Hearing
Hearing loss for most people sets in gradually, and hence, for the individual actually facing the issue, it may be difficult to realize until it has gone beyond a certain level. However, people around them can detect certain tell-tale signs of hearing loss, which could include the following:
- Difficulty faced in understanding words, particularly against background noise or while in a crowd of people.
- Trouble experienced in hearing certain consonants such as ‘s’, ‘h’, or ‘f’ which are usually spoken at a higher pitch. Because of this, such people often experience muffled hearing.
- Trouble hearing high-pitched sounds in general, such as the sound of birds, or alarm clocks, or telephone.
- The person asking others to talk slowly, more clearly, and loudly. Sometimes, people afflicted with hearing loss can only hear other people talk if they speak at a level which persons with normal hearing would perceive as shouting.
- Having to turn up the volume of television or radio to a loud level which can get uncomfortable for people with normal hearing.
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Hypersensitivity to some sounds, which can often feel very disturbing or at times, causing pain.
Now, hearing loss does not just cause one problem i.e. loss of one sense. It has a psychological bearing as well. For example, once persons with hearing loss realize that their issue is attracting other peoples’ attention, they tend to withdraw themselves from social settings where they might have to actively interact with people. This can lead to social isolation, and consequently, loneliness.
People who face hearing loss need to be treated with empathy and understanding. Today, hearing loss is no longer a problem that cannot be addressed. If you or any of your loved ones are showing any of the above symptoms, you may get a hearing test done. Moreover, there are several hearing aid products that you can explore to correct impaired hearing.
