Is your hearing what it should be?
Hearing clearly makes it easy to communicate, so families and friends can stay close and enjoy each other's company. It's the key to maintaining active business and social life. Plus, hearing clearly helps you stay involved in the activities you enjoy. That's why Beltone's Hearing Aid Program is so important.
Beltone has already helped millions of people hear better and enjoy life more.
Are you hearing everything you should be?
Most hearing losses progress very slowly over a long period of time.
Frequently, it's friends and relatives who recognize and tell someone they care for about their hearing problem. The self-test that follows will help you decide if you, or someone you know, may have gradual hearing loss.
1. Do you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves?
2. Do you hear but not always understand conversation, especially in noisy places like restaurants?
3. Do people say you play the radio or TV too loudly?
4. Does it seem as though people are mumbling when they speak to you?
5. Do you find telephone conversations increasingly difficult?
A "yes" answer to any of these questions is a real indication that a hearing problem may exist. Beltone's 10-step hearing test is one way to make sure a hearing problem isn't keeping you from enjoying life to its fullest. If you do have a hearing problem, it will be comforting to learn how easily most hearing problems can be helped.
