How do you know if you or your family is affected by hearing difficulties? The truth is, many people don’t realize it for a long time and may deny it for as long as they can. This is due to the fact that hearing loss can be very gradual and happen over a period of years.
Therefore, do not be surprised if you feel that you are unsure about your own or your family member’s hearing ability – we offer free, no-obligation hearing tests where you can speak to us if you have any concerns!
