Hearing Loss

How do I know if I have a hearing loss?

• You frequently ask people to repeat themselves
• You confuse words that sounds alike
• You struggle to hear in noisy places
• You have problems understanding people who do not look directly at you when speaking

How would a hearing instrument help?

• A hearing instrument can significantly enhance one’s quality of life
• Hearing aids will make speech louder and clearer at a comfortable volume
• Modern hearing aids are designed to give you complete control in the way you communicate
• Those who wear a hearing aid experience a higher self-esteem, greater independence, closer relationships with family and friends and added security

Can too much ear wax cause hearing loss?

• Yes it can. A hearing assessment will determine this. If the cause is wax, or some other potentially correctable medical problem, you may not need a hearing aid at all
• An appointment with one of our ENT consultants can be made to clear out the wax by microsuction

If the cause of your hearing problem is ear wax or some other potentially correctable problem, a referral to an ENT consultant at The London Road Clinic can be made.
