Could it be hearing loss? For those who suffer from hearing loss, they might wonder, “Could there be a solution?” The simple answer: There could be! The good news is that for most people, there are treatment options. The signs and symptoms of hearing loss are recognizable.

Some of the common complaints from those who suffer from hearing loss are:

• “Most people I talk to mumble when they talk to me. If they would just face me, enunciate, and talk a bit louder, I could hear them clearer.”
• “When in a noisy environment such as a restaurant, I really struggle to hear what others at my table are saying. I hear that they are talking but can’t make out all the words. Sometimes I feel left out of the conversation.”
• “I often ask people to repeat what they said. Sometimes I just agree because it is somewhat embarrassing to ask them to repeat.”
• “Church is something that I enjoy. But I do not understand the sermon so I have quit going.”
• “Family members complain that I have the TV volume too loud. If I put the volume where they like it, I don’t hear it well enough and it is frustrating.”

If any of the above scenarios sound familiar, you should get your hearing evaluated with a hearing professional. Based on the results of an evaluation, you will receive recommendations to help you make an informed decision that could improve your quality of life.

“Most hearing loss is not something that happens overnight and treatment can take time to adjust to,” said Sandi Darby-Bowling of Connect Hearing. “Helping people understand hearing loss and the treatment options available to them is something that I am very passionate about. When you receive a hearing evaluation, I will share the findings with you and make appropriate recommendations, based on your needs and lifestyle. You will then be able to make an informed decision for yourself.”
