Trying to convince someone they have a problem hearing can be a difficult task. Most people do not realize they have a hearing loss because it happens gradually over time. The person may compensate by turning up the volume of their phone or television, by avoiding social gatherings where they know they will struggle to hear, and by asking family members to repeat the information.

On average, it takes an individual with hearing loss approximately seven years to acknowledge a hearing loss and seek medical advice. Most people schedule an annual physical with their family doctor, dentist or optometrist. The medical professional has an opportunity to discuss any problems you may have and can compare your results to the previous year. This annual checkup enables you to be aware of changes in your health and take preventative action. An annual physical can catch health problems before they become serious or can provide a person reassurance that everything is fine.

Most people take their hearing for granted. A baseline hearing test is a good idea at any age. Hearing loss can be caused by wax buildup, ear infection or conditions that may need further medical investigation or treatment. It is important to know that some types of hearing loss should be treated as soon as possible, before it can cause permanent hearing loss.

Instead of trying to convince a family member that they have a problem hearing, try compromising by scheduling a hearing test for all members of the family.
