Huh? What did you say? Can you repeat that? Do you hear that ringing/buzzing? These noises in my ear are driving me crazy! – If any of these phrases have become part of your daily life, or if a loved one has told you that you just can’t seem to hear them anymore…it is time to have your hearing evaluated. Admitting that you may have a problem hearing can be terrifying or overwhelming. You may be tempted to delay scheduling an evaluation because you are scared of what will happen during the appointment or because you are nervous of the outcome. You may even have a negative connotation of hearing loss or hearing aids. However, it is important to remember that a hearing evaluation is just as important as routine eye exams, routine dental exams, or routine physicals. Hearing loss can have detrimental effects on your personal relationships and quality of life and treatment is most successful when addressed in the early stages.
