Here’s a list to check whether your hearing may be impaired or not:

  • People tell you you’re not listening.
  • People complain that your radio or TVs volume is set too high.
  • You hear men better than women.
  • You have trouble hearing
  • Try this: rub your forefinger against your thumb and place it near your ear. You can’t hear the “rubbing” sound.
  • You ask people to repeat what they say even in a quiet room.
  • You need to cup your ear with your hand to hear better.
  • The list above is just some common symptoms. If you’ve checked more than one from the list, it’s always best to have your ears checked by the ear doctor.
