Hearing problems

[HannahM]

I've never had a hearing test but I'm wondering if I should have one.
I have Tinnitus which can be irritating but there's not much that can be done for that but my main problem is the fact that I don't often hear what people say to me when there's a bit of background noise or if they're turned away from me when other people can.
Most people would say go get your hearing checked now but I often hear things like my name being called from rooms away or parts of a conversation said in whispers which makes me confused as to whether I really have a problem or not.

Thanks
Hannah

To be sure, go for a hearing test. There is nothing wrong in having the test. You will get the actual situation of your hearing.

Hey I have same problem. Also I have pretty hard case of tinnitus which is persistent and loud.

I'm still thinking if that needs to be checked since I can hear most of things although when I'm alone I turn tv volume up. Also my music listening has become louder past couple years.
Right now I'm having problems to hear over phone.

Have your hearing checked. Your loss may only be for certain frequencies, which is why you feel you can hear some things and not others. Also, the audiologist is used to this complaint as it is a VERY common one.
