Do you think you may have a hearing impairment?

It is not always obvious unless hearing loss is sudden* that a hearing problem may exist. Partial deafness can be a very gradual process. If it is a friend or relative that is experiencing hearing difficulties they may not readily be prepared to admit it.

*If your hearing loss is very sudden please seek immediate medical assistance.
