RE: [IPk] Hearing problems



Hi Sue

Others have chimed in to say exactly what I shall say: yes, get to a hearing 
specialist. You deserve to get along as well as you can in this noisy world!

Audiology is a discipline in the general category of ENT. You should have a 
hearing test done by an audiologist in which sounds are played for you and 
your ability to hear them is recorded and analysed. This kind of test should 
happen at a specialist office or lab. Then you and an audiologist can talk 
about possible treatments and coping strategies based on the results.


Take care
