Hearing Self-Test

What is Tinnitus? Why are my ears ringing?

The following questions will help you determine if you have a hearing loss and need to have your hearing tested:
  • Do you have a problem hearing over the telephone?

  • Do you hear better on one ear than the other when you are on the telephone?

  • Do you have trouble following the
    small group conversations?

  • Do people complain that you turn the TV volume up too high?

  • Do you have to strain to understand conversation?

  • Do you have difficulty hearing in a noisy background?

  • Do you have trouble hearing in restaurants?

  • Do you have dizziness, pain, or ringing in your ears?

  • Do you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves?

  • Do family members or co-workers remark about your missing what has been said?

  • Do many people you talk to seem to mumble (or not speak clearly)?

  • Do you misunderstand what others are saying and respond inappropriately?

  • Do you have trouble understanding the speech of women and children?

  • Do people get annoyed because you misunderstand what they say?

You should have your hearing tested by an ASHA certified audiologist if you have answered yes to any of these questions.
