Sometimes years can go by between noticing a hearing difficulty and doing something about it
As we get older, our hearing is likely to deteriorate. We may well begin to avoid certain situations where, for example, there is a lot of background noise. As a result, it can often be several years between first noticing a hearing difficulty and doing something about it. But sometimes a hearing loss goes completely unnoticed, so other people have the difficult task of drawing attention to it.
It’s worth talking to someone who knows
As with most difficulties, it’s best to talk about it. It might just be that the hearing loss is treatable, in which case the sooner you know that, the better. If it isn’t, at least it’s worth discussing how it might affect everyday life, quantifying the difficulty and then talking about what might be done.
