Understanding Hearing Loss

In most circumstances hearing loss happens over a long period of time but in some circumstances hearing loss can happen very quickly so it's important that you have a hearing test to help prevent any further hearing loss.

The most common signs of hearing loss include:

Hearing people talk but you don't understand what they are saying

The volume on your TV or radio is louder than what others find comfortable

Friends and family comment on your hearing loss but you choose to ignore it

People sound as though they are mumbling

Having a conversation with background noise such as in a pub or restaraunt is very difficult

Hearing loss can affect our relationships with friends and family and place a lot of stress on individuals. It can also cause problems in the work place.

What is a hearing aid?

A Hearing Aid is an electroacoustic device which typically fits in or behind the wearer's ear, and is designed to amplify and modulate sound. Earlier devices, known as an 'ear trumpet' or 'aid hearing' were cones designed to collect sound energy into the ear canal. Similar devices include the bone anchored hearing aid and the cochlear implant.
