5 Signs It’s Time for a Hearing Check
Hearing loss can come on gradually, so it’s not always obvious when to seek help. Here are five common signs that it might be time to book a hearing check:
You keep asking people to repeat themselves.
If “sorry, what was that?” is becoming your catchphrase, it could be more than just background noise.
You find conversations exhausting.
Straining to follow conversations — especially in noisy places — may indicate hearing changes.
The TV volume keeps creeping up.
If others comment that your TV or radio is too loud, your hearing could be the issue.
You miss everyday sounds.
Birds chirping, footsteps, a kettle boiling — hearing loss often starts with soft sounds.
You feel disconnected.
Avoiding group chats or feeling isolated can be a subtle emotional sign your hearing needs checking.
Think you might be experiencing one or more of these?
A quick, free hearing check can give you peace of mind — or the support you need to hear clearly again.

If your hearing aids aren’t working like they used to, it might not be your ears — it could be the device. Here’s how we can help:

Sometimes, it’s your hearing that’s changed. Other times, the device just needs a service or reset. We test both to get to the bottom of it.
We’ll test your current settings.
Poor sound quality, feedback, or imbalance? A quick diagnostic can reveal what’s going on.
