Signs of hearing loss

Signs of hearing loss can manifest subtly but become more evident over time. Common indicators include difficulty following conversations, asking others to repeat themselves, turning up the volume excessively on electronic devices, and feeling isolated in social situations. Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears) may also occur. Children with hearing loss may exhibit delayed speech and language development. other red flags for hearing loss can include a diminished ability to hear high-pitched sounds, such as birdsong or doorbells, trouble understanding speech in noisy environments, and a sensation of muffled or distorted sound perception. Some individuals may experience dizziness or balance problems, as the inner ear plays a role in equilibrium.
