When should I schedule a hearing test?

A hearing test is recommended if you experience any symptoms that may indicate hearing loss. These symptoms include difficulty understanding speech, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, turning up the volume on devices, and experiencing ringing or buzzing in the ears. It is important to take steps to protect your hearing by wearing hearing protection in noisy environments to prevent permanent damage. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is best to schedule a hearing test and consult with a professional for evaluation and appropriate recommendations.
