By Dr Lindiwe Mokoena · 18 September 2026 · 4 min read
Most hearing loss develops so gradually that the people around you often notice before you do. The good news is that the earlier it is picked up, the more we can do about it.
1. You turn the TV up louder than others like
If family members comment that the volume is too high, it is worth a check.
2. Conversations in noisy places are a struggle
Restaurants, parties and busy shops become exhausting when your ears work harder to separate speech from background noise.
When to book a test
If two or more of these sound familiar, a comprehensive hearing test is a simple, comfortable next step.
