Adult Hearing Checklist

  1. Do you often ask people to repeat what they have said?
  2. Do you sometimes hear but fail to understand words?
  3. Have you noticed recently people mumble more often?
  4. Does your family complain that you play the radio or TV too loudly?
  5. Are you having more and more difficulty hearing in noisy places?
  6. Have you been told you speak too loudly?
  7. Do you have trouble hearing when spoken to from another room?
  8. Do you have to strain to hear?

If you answered yes to two or more of the questions above, it is recommended that you see an audiologist to get an "audiometric evaluation".
