Get help if you have a hearing problem.

Hearing loss is fairly common, especially after age 50. One in three people over the age of 65 have hearing loss. Signs of hearing loss include having trouble hearing clearly, having trouble hearing on the phone, and needing to turn up the volume of the radio or TV to hear. To take a quick, written hearing health test, go to www.audiology.org/consumer/guides/hhqt.php on the
Web site of the American Academy of Audiology. Talk with your doctor if you have difficulty hearing. Most hearing difficulties can be helped with a full evaluation by an ear specialist and prescribed treatments and aids.
