Symptoms
Common complaints from hearing loss:

• Do other people seem to mumble rather than speak clearly to you?
• Ringing, buzzing, whistling or hissing in your ears.
• Do people often have to repeat things for you before you understand what they say?
• Do you have difficulty understanding what is being said in noisy places, such as pubs or restaurants, although other people manage to have conversations?
• When you are talking to people in a group, is it hard to keep up with the conversation?
• Do you find it tiring to listen to conversations because you have to concentrate hard?
• Do other people think your television or music is too loud but you cannot hear it properly if they turn it down?
• Do you often have difficulty hearing on the telephone?

Some people are more sensitive to hearing damage than others. In a group of workers exposed to the same noise level, one or two workers will experience deafness before the others. This is another reason why deafness is often put down to personal factors or to simply, getting old.
Studies have linked untreated hearing loss to:

• Irritability, negativism and anger
• Fatigue, tension, stress and depression
• Avoidance or withdrawal from social situations
• Social rejection and loneliness
• Reduced alertness and increased risk to personal safety
• Impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks
• Reduced job performance and earning power
• Diminished psychological and overall health
