Woman suffering from hearing loss struggling to hear on the phone.



1. Ears Ringing


The ringing can be intermittent and only act up when triggered. As an example, perhaps the ringing, buzzing or roaring only happens when you first get up or when you are tired.

It’s crucial that you don’t ignore tinnitus because it is a symptom that something is happening with your body. Besides hearing loss, tinnitus can be caused by high blood pressure, trauma, or a circulatory problem. You won’t know for certain until you see your doctor, though.

2. You Hate Talking on The Phone

It’s easy to make excuses for phone problems like:

  • My phone is damaged from being dropped.
  • I’m not used to my phone’s newer technology yet.
  • My phone is old.


3. It Seems As if Everybody Mumbles These Days



4. What Did You Say?

You may not even recognize that you can’t hear conversations any more until someone points out that you say “What? a lot. Very often, the people you see every day like coworkers or family are the first to notice you are struggling to hear. Pay attention if someone says something about it.

5. You Hear Some People Just Fine But Not Others

Maybe when you are having a conversation with the neighbor everything sounds okay but when his wife joins in you can’t understand a word. It’s a common sign of sensorineural hearing loss or damage to the nerves that send electrical messages to the brain.

Her voice is a higher pitch, and that’s why it isn’t as clear. Your daughter or grandchild might present the same issue. Even when you are in normal situations, something as basic as trying to hear the sound of an alarm clock ar a microwave can make things difficult. Those sounds are high pitched, as well.


Worse yet are the people who actually mumble. Also, being in noisy places makes understanding what people say a big challenge. Something as simple as the AC popping on during dinner or the sound of people conversing around you makes it impossible to hear anything.

7. You Never Used to Feel so Tired

It’s can be fatiguing struggling to comprehend what people are saying. Your brain has to work overtime to process what it does hear, so you are more exhausted than normal. Your other senses may also undergo changes. What’s left for your other senses when your brain is working at 110 percent of its energy to comprehend words? If your last eye test was okay, then the next thing to get checked is your hearing.

8. That Dang TV


The good news is all you need to do to know for sure is a professional hearing examination. If it turns out you have a hearing problem, hearing aids can get things back to normal.
