- Hearing Loss and Hearing Test - May 5, 2025
Hearing loss affects millions of people, and the prevalence increases with age. Hearing loss can cause miscommunication, frustration, anxiety, and it can even contribute to memory loss and dementia.
Hearing tests are easy, comfortable, and affordable. Ask your doctor if you are experiencing any of the following. It may be time for a hearing test:
- Frequently asking to repeat
- Misunderstanding conversations
- Turning TV volume louder than others
- Ringing in the ears
- Excessive noise exposure
If needed, hearing aids today include digital noise reduction, Bluetooth connectivity, and rechargeable batteries. And with many insurances and support programs, hearing aid coverage is easier than ever before. Don’t let a hearing problem steal away your quality of life. Ask about a hearing test appointment. Let’s make sure that life sounds great!
