Why Do a Hearing Test?

 

 

From time to time your doctor may recommend a hearing test. Many people feel that only older people have difficulty keeping up with everyday noises and conversations. However, a hearing test can be fruitful for many. Even those who appear to have no obvious signs of hearing loss Clinical experts recommend adults take a hearing test every 10 years up to the age of 50. From the age of 50, a test should be done every 3 years to make sure everything is okay. Many people often have mild hearing loss, but they may not realize it as it can be a slow and gradual process.
