Do you have a hearing loss? It can be hard to be really sure. Because of the manner in which hearing loss normally occurs, it is often the case that the last person to know about it is the person who suffers with it. The following questions form a hearing self test. Simply answer yes or no to each question.
NB. This test is provided only as a guide and is in not intended to replace a hearing assessment using the correct audiological equipment. Due to recent events and a changing society, I am now able to carry out a full audiological hearing assessment in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
