Often, the family hears it first.
Common signs loved ones notice before the person with hearing loss does:
• The TV volume keeps creeping up
• Frequent “What?” or “Can you say that again?”
• Missing parts of conversations, especially in groups or restaurants
• Saying others are “mumbling” even when they are not
• Not hearing the doorbell, phone, or timer
• Withdrawing from social events because it is “too hard to follow”
Hearing changes can be gradual, so it is normal for the person affected to be the last to recognize it.
If this sounds like someone you care about, a gentle conversation and a simple hearing evaluation can make a big difference.
