That is not to say that someone will have a hearing consultation and then ignore the results for 10 years. It means that there may be little signs over the years that your hearing is not what it was but nothing will be done about it. This is absolutely why some people find it difficult to address a hearing loss as it can creep up on you.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Recognise the signs of hearing loss<\/h4>\n<p>Some people genuinely don\u2019t even realise there has been a change to their hearing and rely on friends and family members to tell them. However, there are some common symptoms that point towards a hearing loss:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Asking people to repeat themselves often<\/li>\n<li>Finding group conversations difficult to follow<\/li>\n<li>Having difficulty understanding people on the phone<\/li>\n<li>People commenting on how loud your TV or radio is<\/li>\n<li>Struggling with conversations when there is a high level of background noise, particularly in cafes or restaurants<\/li>\n<li>Feeling like people are always mumbling when they\u2019re talking to you<\/li>\n<li>Finding it tricky to establish the direction a sound is coming from<\/li>\n<li>Avoiding social situations because you are worried you won\u2019t keep up with the conversation<\/li>\n<li>People in your life, especially those closest to you, have suggested you have a hearing loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Consult a hearing healthcare professional<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_3084\" style=\"width: 1090px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3084\" class=\"wp-image-3084 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/02-04-24-Veritas-Hearing-Why-Is-It-So-Important-To-Prioritize-Our-Hearing-Post.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/02-04-24-Veritas-Hearing-Why-Is-It-So-Important-To-Prioritize-Our-Hearing-Post.png 1080w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/02-04-24-Veritas-Hearing-Why-Is-It-So-Important-To-Prioritize-Our-Hearing-Post-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/02-04-24-Veritas-Hearing-Why-Is-It-So-Important-To-Prioritize-Our-Hearing-Post-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/02-04-24-Veritas-Hearing-Why-Is-It-So-Important-To-Prioritize-Our-Hearing-Post-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/02-04-24-Veritas-Hearing-Why-Is-It-So-Important-To-Prioritize-Our-Hearing-Post-600x750.png 600w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/02-04-24-Veritas-Hearing-Why-Is-It-So-Important-To-Prioritize-Our-Hearing-Post-150x188.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3084\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A hearing healthcare professional will test your hearing and advise if you have a hearing loss.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you think you\u2019ve experienced even just one of these symptoms, you should book a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/hearing-tests\/\"><span style=\"color: blue\">hearing test<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>.

Hearing aids can increase your quality of life and ensure you stay connected to the world around you. Choosing the right style of hearing aid for you is a very personal decision. This can be discussed with your hearing healthcare professional. They will be able to discuss the severity of your hearing loss. They will also offer their advice as to what they would recommend. Hearing aids can often be fitted very quickly after being prescribed and you can begin to enjoy life in full sound once again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>What happens after a hearing aid fitting?<\/h4>\n<p>If you decide to purchase hearing aids with us at Veritas Hearing, you will enjoy an extensive 2 year warranty and aftercare package included within the price. This includes as many follow up appointments as necessary until you are comfortable with your new hearing aids. You will then be seen once every 6 months for your hearing to be re-tested. Your hearing aids will be reprogrammed for these changes. If you feel like you need to be seen before the next scheduled appointment, you just need to call us.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6012\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6012\" class=\"wp-image-6012 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250109_162547609_HDR-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250109_162547609_HDR-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250109_162547609_HDR-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250109_162547609_HDR-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250109_162547609_HDR-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250109_162547609_HDR-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250109_162547609_HDR-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250109_162547609_HDR-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6012\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It&#8217;s important to keep up with your 6 monthly hearing check ups.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this and thinking it is time you did something about your hearing loss, please <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/veritashearing.com\/uk\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"color: blue\">give us a call<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>.
