Is It Time to Have My Hearing Tested?

How often should you have your hearing evaluated? 

• Adults previously undiagnosed with hearing loss should have their hearing screened every five years. 
• Adults who have been diagnosed with hearing loss should have their hearing tested every one to two years.
• Adults with diagnosed hearing loss who wear hearing aids should have their hearing tested every two years and their hearing aids adjusted to reflect any changes in their hearing.

If you have never been diagnosed with a hearing loss, how do you know if you need your hearing evaluated?

• Do you often say “I can hear you, but I can't understand what you're saying”?
• Is it hard to hear conversations in crowded places like restaurants?
• Do you find children's or women's voices hard to hear?
• Do you need the TV volume louder than others?
• Does your family get frustrated repeating themselves?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it's time to have your hearing evaluated!
