Understanding Hearing Loss
Just how much are you missing?
Hearing loss can hit at any age but is more common in the senior years. So how do you know when it is time to check your hearing? The signs aren’t always obvious, but as time goes on there can be the odd tell-tale sign that your hearing may be becoming an issue.
- Do you sometimes struggle to hear?
- Do you feel frustrated because you have difficulty understanding people?
- Do you feel restricted or limited by a hearing problem?
- Does a hearing problem cause you to argue with family members?
- Do you have trouble understanding the TV or radio at levels that are loud
enough for others? - Do you feel that difficulty with your hearing limits your personal or social life? For instance, do you have problems understanding conversation in noisy environments?
These are early signs of hearing loss.

Are You Experiencing These Signs of Hearing Loss?
Early detection and intervention are crucial for managing hearing loss and minimizing its impact on your daily life. Common signs of hearing loss include:
- Difficulty hearing conversations in noisy environments
- Needing to increase TV volume
- Feeling fatigued after conversations
- Straining to understand speech
- Perceiving sounds as muffled or distorted
Generally speaking, hearing loss develops slowly. Our brain’s own ability to compensate and adjust to gradual hearing changes makes hearing loss difficult to recognize. That’s why it’s extremely important to have annual hearing evaluations. Experts encourage people as young as 45 to have a baseline hearing screening.
Hearing loss affects one in six Australians, most of whom leave it untreated. Untreated hearing loss is linked to low self-esteem, mental health issues such as depression, and social isolation.
Ignoring hearing loss
Untreated hearing loss can have devastating implications for not just the individual, but for relationships, friendships and families; as spouses, children and friends feel ignored, unheard or just plain exhausted from having to constantly repeat themselves.
Further, there is a growing body of evidence linking untreated hearing loss with early onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia. According to several major studies, older adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, compared to those with normal hearing. Further, the risk escalates as a person’s hearing loss grows worse.
