SIGNS YOU’RE SUFFERING FROM HIDDEN HEARING LOSS

■ YOU struggle to decipher speech, especially when there is background noise — but you can pick out quiet noises in quiet environments.

■ YOU can’t understand what people are saying on TV, even when the volume is loud.

■ DIFFICULTY hearing in social situations, such as parties or in restaurants, or in the office when there are lots of people talking.

■ STANDARD tests at a hearing clinic say your results are fine, but you are still struggling.
