First Signs of Hearing Loss: High Frequencies
One of the most common types of hearing loss is known as high-frequency hearing loss. While it can impact individuals of all ages, it tends to be more prevalent among older adults experiencing age-related hearing decline and individuals exposed to excessive noise. Those affected may encounter challenges in hearing higher frequency consonant sounds such as 's', 'h', or 'f'. Consequently, communication over the phone or television may be misinterpreted and speech may begin to sound muffled.
If you think you are experiencing these first signs of hearing loss, contact an audiologist or hearing health care provider in your area for a complete audiological evaluation.
