There are a couple of unmistakeable signs that you can look out for. For example, when having a conversation amid background noise, you need to concentrate more than usual on what the other person is saying. Other people think that the volume on your television or your stereo is too loud. Or people ask you to speak more softly on the phone. Or perhaps more tellingly, when out in public you are startled by a car that seems to appear suddenly, because you didn't hear it approaching. If such situations are familiar to you, you should have a hearing test to be on the safe side - either here online or with a specialist.

Of course. Hearing problems are not necessarily a question of (old) age. In general, it is true that hearing capability declines with age; the reason being deterioration of the hair cells in the inner ear. But today, there are more and more young people whose hearing is not what it should be - it is often damaged through chronic noise in their job or through loud music.

If you notice that your hearing is not as good as it used to be, you should search for a specialist ear, nose and throat doctor. He can determine the causes and degree of the hearing loss and prescribe a hearing system. You can of course also go to a hearing instrument specialist and do a free hearing test there - with our audiologist finder, you can find a specialist shop near you quickly. The hearing instrument specialist can help you pick the hearing system most suited to you and match it to your individual requirements.

When it comes to caring for the system and answering any questions you have, he is your professional contact person.

Unfortunately, this is usually not the case. If the hearing problem appears after a short exposure to very loud noise, it might only be a temporary phenomenon and could disappear after a few days. Even after an acute hearing loss, it is possible that medical treatment can improve the situation. If however the problem is caused by age-related wear or chronic damage caused by long-lasting exposure to noise, the hearing capability can only be improved by the use of one or two hearing systems.

In the past, hearing instruments were big and appeared rather unattractive. Nowadays, modern hearing systems are almost invisible. For many women, the fashionably-designed mini computers are more an accessory than a "hearing aid" and men are fascinated by the sophisticated technology and their comfortable accessory. The rapid development in technology and design has meant that more and more people today can experience life to the full (both at work and in their free time) thanks to the most modern hearing systems.
