Many individuals with a moderate hearing loss can often be unaware of their problem, despite close family and friends often being the first to suspect anything is wrong.
Exposure to loud noises, genetics or simply the natural aging process are usually the main source of any problem, and most hearing professionals believe that usually two of these symptons occur together.
Usually, most hearing loss is painless and transparent. The only physical warning sign is typically “ringing in the ears” – sometimes known as tinnitus, but usually hearing loss simply sneaks up on you, meaning that it’s often a very gradual process.
