You will know that you need to buy a hearing aid when you go to the movies and need to read the lips of the actors on the screen. You know that you need to get a hearing aid when you turn the TV up to a blast and everyone in the house shouts, Turn it down. You know that you will need to wear a hearing aid when you sit in the car, with family and friends, and constantly ask, What did you say? If any or all of this describes you then this is what you should immediately do. 1. Get a hearing test. Most hearing aid specialists will offer free hearing tests. You do not have to sign a contract or promise to buy their type or style of hearing aid. 2. Take the time to check out the various types of hearing aids that are on the market. No two manufacturers of hearing aids are alike or cost the same. The fastest way to do it is to do an Internet search. 3. Ask to see the hearing aids that are behind the ear if money is a problem.

How to tell if you need a hearing aid?
The main cause of people needing hearing aids is presbycusis. Presbycusis is the loss of hearing as a human gets older. This type of hearing loss usually starts with losing high pitches first. For example, an individual may have trouble hearing the doorbell but have no trouble talking to a man with a low voice. Presbycusis becomes severe when an individual is around 65 years old and becomes increasingly more noticeable as the person ages from then on. There are many simple questions a person can ask themselves to see if they are in need of a hearing aid. The following questions are basic and can give a rough estimate on whether or not a person needs a hearing aid. Do you find yourself asking people to repeat what they have just said? Is it hard to hear a specific voice in a room of other sounds? Do you seem to turn up the volume of your television or music player? Do you miss words/sentences during a phone conversation? Can you hear the ticking of a clock? People who answer yes to the majority of these questions most likely are in need of a hearing aid. Many people wait too long to get a hearing aid. Once a person gets a hearing aid they cannot imagine hearing without it. It allows people suffering from Presbycusis to engage in conversations with flawless hearing. Hearing aids also allow the individual to focus on specific sounds in group areas. Many people think that if they need a hearing aid then they are deaf. This is not true; a hearing aid is used to help people that have trouble hearing higher and lower pitches that they cannot hear normally because of Presbycusis. If you feel you are hard of hearing, you most likely are. However, a hearing aid can give you your hearing back. A person with poor hearing can once again listen to the birds chirping outside, vividly hear the doorbell ring, and most importantly bring back the ease of conversations.
