Are you surrounded by mumblers?
Have all your family members recently started to mumble?
How about friends, especially in a crowded environment?
If so, you are probably like millions of others in the United States and have an undiagnosed hearing loss.
Not only does this cause frustration on your part because you feel that they are not speaking clearly, but it causes family and friends to stop even trying to speak with you. People that don’t have a hearing loss quickly become impatient when they have to repeat themselves over and over.
You will hear “never mind” so often, you might be tempted to choke people. This may even cause a rift in an otherwise great relationship.
You could also answer inappropriately and jeopardize a friendship. Suppose Joe said “Dennis Franz sure got fat” but you didn’t hear all the words and thought he said “Your sister Fran sure got fat”. Think that could cause some hard feelings? If things like this are happening to you, go get a hearing test and save your anger for Monday night football. A hearing aid can change improve your relationships and change your life.
