1. Do you often feel that people are mumbling or not speaking clearly?

2. Do you find it difficult to follow conversation in a crowded room?

3. Do you frequently ask people to speak up or repeat themselves?

4. Do you have difficulty hearing the telephone or the doorbell?

Why correct hearing loss?

Hearing is essential to your quality of life.Helen Keller said "loss of vision means losing contact with things" but hearing loss means losing contact with people"

A hearing difficulty influences the interaction between family and friends causing communication barriers between people who love and need one another.

Anxiety, insecurity, isolation, and depression can affect those who do not hear well. Scientific studies indicate that the negative psychological changes due to untreated hearing loss may be reversed by the use of a hearing instrument.
