| Everyone
experiences these problems occasionally. However, if you experience them
consistently, |
 |
you probably
have a hearing loss. Don't despair. You are in good company. At least 3
million |
| Australians
have some degree of hearing loss, and around one-half are under the age
of 65 years! |
 |
Usually
the process of hearing loss is so gradual that the person with the hearing
loss does not |
| notice
the decline ---- but others do. Much can be done to help you hear better,
and to prevent |
 |
further
deterioration. An audiologist is the best person to discuss these matters
with you. |
