  • As hearing loss occurs in older adults, they begin showing signs of that others are able to pick up on. If you know of someone who listens to the television too loudly and who constantly ask others to repeat themselves, they are most likely experiencing a hearing loss. You can make a difference in their lives by having their hearing tested.

  • Hearing is critical for developing speech and language. Even before a child begins to talk they are hearing speech around them and starting to learn to understand what the people around them are saying. What children hear affects their babbling. Research has shown that infants initially babble sounds used in many different languages but after a few months, their babbling changes so they are only using sounds that they hear.

  • Do you hear a ringing, roaring, clicking, or hissing sound in your ears? Do you hear this sound often or all the time? Does the sound bother you a lot? If you answer yes to these questions, you may have tinnitus (tin-NY-tus).
