Are you struggling with your hearing?

It's not always easy to tell if you're losing your hearing, but there are commons signs.

You may have difficulty hearing people clearly when they speak, especially in noisy places.... or ask people to repeat themselves a lot. You could be having difficulty hearing on the phone, making it hard to keep up with a conversations. Perhaps a friend or a loved one has commented that you've started listening to music or watching TV with the volume higher than others need it... or it may be that you've started feeling tired or stressed from having to concentrate while listening. If you are experiencing these issues, then it might be time to seek some assistance.


Did you know?

If you have noticed that your hearing isn't as good as it should be then you could make a 'self referal' to an audiology specialist. Instead of visiting your GP, you can contact one of the hearing providers below to get useful advice for your hearing, and talk through what to do next.

If you are over 50 years old, they may be able to offer you an appointment and ongoing care. This includes a full clinical assessment, an NHS funded hearing aid fitting when appropriate, and after care as well.

 

Specsavers may be best known as eye specialists, but they have been providing audiology services for more than 20 years. 
More information is available on their website here: Hearing Aids & Hearing Tests | Specsavers UK
