Hearing tests
How do you know it is time for a hearing test?
Signs from everyday life
The US National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) offers a short questionnaire. Among other things, it checks whether hearing difficulty causes you:
- Difficulty hearing the TV or radio
- Difficulty at parties and events
- Frustration in conversation with family members
- A feeling of “dropping out” of a group conversation
- Avoiding get-togethers with groups of people
Hearing loss can also make it harder to hear the phone, the doorbell or a smoke alarm.
When to get tested
According to the NIDCD questionnaire, if you answered “yes” to two or more questions, it is worth considering a hearing test. The World Health Organization stresses that early identification of hearing loss is key.
