Chances are good that if you have hearing loss, your friends and family members have noticed that something is amiss. While they may not have realized the problem is hearing loss, they may have noticed some changes in your social behaviours.
Ask your family and friends if they have noticed that you seem more distant, distracted or even annoyed in conversation than you once were. If they say yes, it may be a sign that hearing loss is affecting your relationships, and that you should be tested!
The only way to get a positive diagnosis for hearing loss is to be assessed by an audiologist. Audiologist Nicole Clark at the Oakville Hearing will perform a hearing test to determine not only whether you are experiencing hearing loss, but also the type of hearing loss and its degree.
