Some signs of hearing loss are subtle:
People seem to mumble or speak too softly.
Group conversations leave you feeling left out or mentally drained.
You find yourself guessing words based on context rather than truly hearing them.
Certain sounds (birds, doorbells, phone rings) seem less noticeable than before.
These clues may appear harmless at first, but ignoring them can set off a chain reaction that affects more than just your ears.
