<\/p>\nYou may not know that you have hearing problems if there are only small increments. You will only find out when you are straining yourself to understand conversation and missing some of your favorite sounds. But how can you tell when your have hearing problems? It often depends on the type and severity. But there are a few early signs of hearing loss that you could take note on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Consonant sounds are hard to hear<\/strong><\/p>\n When you develop presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, you may have lost the ability to hear high-frequency sounds. In speech, that translates to the consonant sounds S, F, Th, Sh, V, K and P. These sounds are important because they help you distinguish between like-sounding words. For example, \u201cshow\u201d\u00a0and \u201cthrow\u201d\u00a0or \u201ckeep\u201d\u00a0and \u201cpeep\u201d. You may misunderstand important parts of the conversation and respond inappropriately or think people are mumbling. In simple, you can hear, but don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n 2. High-pitched sound have seemingly disappeared<\/strong><\/p>\n When was the last time you heard birds singing or crickets chirping? Or the car\u2019s turn signal when it\u2019s blinking? Or even having trouble hearing your wife or grandchildren when they speak? These high pitched sounds and voices register at frequencies of 2,000 Hz or higher, so it would be a trouble of hearing.<\/p>\n 3. Understanding conversation in crowded places is increasingly difficult<\/strong><\/p>\n Another symptoms of high-frequency hearing loss is the inability to distinguish speech in noisy environments. As a result, you may find yourself avoiding social situations like family get-togethers or meetup with friends at local gathering places where you need to concentrate on understanding the conversation.<\/p>\n 4. You strain to listen, it is exhausting<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are straining to listen to the conversation and are more exhausted than usual, you may have listening fatigue. For example like a fading radio state or bad phone connection.<\/p>\n You may not know that you have hearing problems if there are only small increments.
