1 in 6 people in the UK miss out on the little things in life, because of their hearing. Whether it’s struggling to hear the TV, or having difficulty hearing in conversations, many people don’t realise these are common signs of hearing loss.
Common signs include frequently asking people to repeat themselves, struggling to follow conversations in noisy environments, turning up the volume on the TV or radio higher than usual, and experiencing ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus). If you recognise any of these signs, it’s important to have a hearing assessment, as early detection can make a significant difference in maintaining communication and quality of life.
