You should have your hearing checked if:
- You have to strain to hear normal conversation
- You have to watch other people’s faces very carefully to follow what they are saying
- You need to ask people to repeat what they’ve said
- You often misunderstand what people are saying
- You turn the volume of the television or radio up so high that others complain
- You feel that people are mumbling when they’re talking to you
- You are having ear infections, dizziness or a ringing in your ears
- You find that the effort to hear leaves you feeling tired and irritated
- You notice, when using the phone, that you hear better with one ear than the other
