Think of this list as something to do before your visit with the doctor, to give you an idea of the degree of hearing loss that you might be experiencing. If you think the symptoms are mild, you should still consult with a family doctor. However, keep in mind that even medical doctors are statistically (only 22% are trained to identify the extent of hearing problems) not specialized in hearing aspects of health.

- Do you hear, but not understand, what is being said?
- Do you have trouble hearing the television and/or radio?
- Do you feel that other people seem to mumble or talk too quickly?
- Do you find yourself watching the mouths of people as they talk?
- Do you experience ringing, pain, or fullness in one or both ears?
- Do you frequently ask people to repeat what they say?
Other symptoms may include your inability to hear female voices (higher pitch) as opposed to male voices, and difficulty to understand others over the telephone, or when there is a lot of background noise. Also, you might want to think about family history: Is anyone in your family hard of hearing or deaf? If so, then you should know that even though the causes of hearing loss are many, the problem might be hereditary.
