Don’t wait until you show signs of hearing loss. Have your hearing examined by one of our audiologists at your regular checkup. A basic hearing evaluation usually includes a quick look in the ear with a special light for looking into the ear canal (otoscope) and other checks to assess the sounds you can hear.

Our qualified hearing specialists (audiologists) can conduct a hearing test for you if:

  • Have a history of exposure to loud noise,
  • Feel your hearing has changed, or
  • Have family or friends that say you have difficulty hearing and communicating with them (those around us can be the first to notice our hearing problems).
  • The audiologist may have you listen to different sounds through headphones to determine the softest sounds you can hear, or have you repeat lists of words or complete other special tests.

11 Signs of Hearing Loss

  1. If you have any of these signs or symptoms, you may have hearing loss caused by noise:
  2. Speech and other sounds seem muffled
  3. Difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds (e.g., birds, doorbell, telephone, alarm clock)
  4. Difficulty understanding conversations when you are in a noisy place, such as a restaurant
  5. Difficulty understanding speech over the phone
  6. Trouble distinguishing speech consonants (e.g., difficulty distinguishing the difference between s and f, between p and t, or between sh and th in speech)
  7. Asking others to speak more slowly and clearly
  8. Asking someone to speak more loudly or repeat what they said
  9. Turning up the volume of the television or radio
  10. Ringing in the ears
  11. Hypersensitivity to certain sounds (certain sounds are very bothersome or create pain)

If you have any signs of hearing loss, get tested, please contact Melnick, Moffitt, and Mesaros ENT Associates for a comprehensive consultation.

    You got me when you said that it’s possible that you’re suffering from hearing loss if you always ask others to speak louder. My husband and I will make sure to bring our son to a hearing specialist as soon as possible. He watches TV like he can’t hear anything. Also, he has been telling us that we’re like whispering when we’re talking to him. Thanks!
