AN AUDIOLOGIST GIVES US THE LOWDOWN AND OFFERS SOME EXPERT ADVICE
-

"But, there are some key signs to look out for which could indicate the need to book a free hearing test. Some signs include difficulty keeping up with conversations, regularly having to ask people to repeat themselves, having the TV on too loud for other members of the family, or struggling to follow conversations on the phone."
