Common Symptoms of Hearing Loss

June 25, 2004 -- One should know and be able to recognize the symptoms of hearing loss. Further, being receptive to seeking treatment is vital to maintaining quality of life, since hearing loss might foster a sense of disability and isolation from social interaction, which can lead to depression.

Ten common signals of possible hearing loss are:
1) Difficulty hearing over the telephone
2) Trouble following the conversation when two or more people speak at once
3) Complaints that the TV volume is too high
4) Straining to understand conversation
5) Trouble hearing in a noisy background
6) Asking people to repeat themselves
7) People seem to mumble
8) Misunderstanding what others say; responding inappropriately
9) Trouble understanding the speech of women and children
10) Annoying others by misunderstanding what they say

The presence of three or more of these symptoms could indicate some level of hearing loss.
