When to visit an audiologist
Complications with hearing can sometimes be difficult to identify, but there are some signs that indicate it may be time to call a hearing doctor. Consider having your hearing checked by a clinical audiologist today if:
- You hear a buzzing, ringing, chirping or roaring (tinnitus)
- People complain that your radio or television volume is turned up too loud
- You have difficulty understanding the higher pitched speech of children
- You find that others often mumble or do not speak clearly
- You have difficulty understanding people in noisy environments
- You often ask others to repeat themselves
- It is a strain to understand a conversation
- Environmental sounds seem too loud, such as an airplane flying overhead, ambulance sirens, music concerts or construction noises
- You experience sensitivity to sounds (hyperacusis or misophonia) not bothersome to others
