How often should I have my hearing checked?

It's a question we're asked on a daily basis. Here's some general guidelines:

• 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 two years (biennially).
• 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 wear hearing aids, you should have your hearing aids checked on a yearly basis.
• Adults who wake up with sudden hearing loss should be seen by an audiologist or an ENT that day.
• Children and adults who report tinnitus (perception of sound not audible to others) should have their hearing tested promptly.
