How Do You Know You Are Hearing Impaired?
Grandparents and Your Grandchildren Today

By DH Owens

Grandparents: Living with hearing difficulty or even severe hearing  impairment is occasionally part of aging.

Actually, you probably suspect you are hearing impaired long before you admit it, even to yourself. In fact, grandparents often suspect they are hearing impaired because they can not understand their grandchildren's high-pitched conversations.

Or both of your grandchildren are talking to you at once. You can not understand either one.

Place a check by any of the following statements you feel describe you. The more of these statements you check, the more likely it is that you have a substantial hearing impairment.

___ You have more trouble hearing women and children than men.

___ You have more trouble hearing or understanding when there is background noise.
