Hearing loss usually comes in a gradual manner. Some common signs of hearing loss are pain or ringing in the ears after exposure to loud noise, muffled speech, difficulty understanding speech in crowded areas, frequently asking people to repeat themselves, difficulty on the phone or inability to understand women or children. Hearing loss affects the ability of the auditory system and the brain to code and decipher auditory information. As the hearing loss progresses other symptoms may include social isolation and inability to function in common social settings. If you or your loved ones feel you have significant hearing problems it is advisable to see an audiologist or your physician for evaluation.
