What are the signs and symptoms of hearing loss?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our ears are always on, just like the sounds around us. Cell phones ringing, people chatting, dogs barking, traffic rumbling, birds chirping \u2014 there\u2019s so much going on. Our brain allows us to identify and interpret different sounds and to focus on what we want to hear. It can instantly recognize the voice of a loved one, or allows you to quietly read a book without recognizing the background sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sometimes, it doesn\u2019t work that way. Sometimes, our brain can\u2019t identify a sound because our ears can\u2019t hear it to begin with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you aware of the sounds that you can\u2019t hear?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs of hearing loss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hearing loss doesn\u2019t simply mean that someone has trouble hearing soft sounds. Rather, it is more common, especially in age-related hearing loss, that the ability to hear high pitched sounds is affected first. For example, the first sounds that someone may not be able to hear so well are the chirping of birds and female or children’s voices. Hearing loss also diminishes the ability to hear certain consonants in speech, which can make it difficult for the person with hearing loss to follow conversations. Depending on the cause and type of hearing loss, it is also possible to experience difficulties hearing mid- or even low- frequencies, or evenly across all frequencies. Another sign of hearing loss could be Tinnitus<\/p>\n\n\n\n
