    Signs and Symptoms of Hearing Loss

    in Hearing

    Hearing loss can have a profound effect on the individual’s personal and social life.

    Signs and symptoms of a hearing loss vary depending on the severity of the hearing loss, but can include the following:


    • Inability to understand speech clearly, especially when background noise is present.

    • Inability to understand speech in group settings.

    • It sounds as if other people are mumbling or not talking clearly.

    • Inability to hear clearly over the telephone.

    • One must turn the volume of the television / radio up Inability to understand when someone is not looking directly at you when they speak.

    • Withdrawal from conversations and social events.

    • Frequently asking others for repetition or to speak louder.

    • Speech sounds muffled as if ears are blocked / filled with fluid.

    • Blaming loss of conversational content on the other person not “speaking up”.

    • Difficulty locating where sounds / speech are coming from.

    • Difficulty to distinguish between different sounds / words.

    • Cannot “hear” if you don’t have your glasses on when someone talks.

    • Tinnitus (Ringing sound in one or both ears).

    • .Vertigo (feeling off-balance or dizzy)


    If you experience two or more of these symptoms, it is recommended that you have your hearing tested by an Audiologist. Remember, having a hearing test done does not necessarily mean you must have a hearing loss. Prevention is always better than cure!
