Anyone who experiences signs of hearing difficulties or suspects they may have hearing loss should consider having a hearing assessment. It is especially important for individuals who frequently struggle to hear conversations, have difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, frequently ask others to repeat themselves, or experience ringing in the ears (tinnitus).

It is generally recommended to have a baseline hearing assessment in adulthood and then undergo periodic assessments as you age or if you notice changes in your hearing. For most adults, having a hearing assessment every 1-3 years is advisable. However, if you have existing hearing loss or other risk factors, more frequent assessments may be recommended.

During a hearing assessment, you can expect a variety of tests to be conducted, which may include pure-tone audiometry to measure your hearing sensitivity, speech audiometry to assess your ability to understand speech, middle ear tests to evaluate the function of your eardrum and middle ear, and possibly additional tests depending on your specific needs.

Signs of hearing loss can include difficulty understanding speech, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, needing to increase the volume of the television or radio, withdrawal from conversations or social situations, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and experiencing difficulties hearing in noisy environments.
