Signs you need a hearing test

Hearing loss is often slow and gradual. Here are some of the signs you can look out for:

Difficulty hearing in noisy places

You have difficulty understanding or following a conversation in noisy environments such as cafes and restaurants.

Asking people to repeat

You may feel like others are mumbling or not speaking clearly, leading you to frequently ask them to repeat themselves.
