Warwick-based audiologist Mr Kabir Hussain, owner of Warwick Hearing Specialists offers advice the importance of getting your hearing checked.

Hearing loss is a condition affecting over 18 million UK adults. Misunderstandings about symptoms, causes, and hearing aids often delay treatment, and research proves that early diagnosis of hearing loss is vital for maintaining hearing and overall health. 

1. Early checks make everything easier

"People often tell me they didn't notice their hearing getting worse — they just realised conversations were becoming harder. My message is always the same: don't wait. Early checks make everything easier and can genuinely transform day-to-day life."

2. Hearing loss can affect confidence - Hearing Specialists are here to help

I see every day how untreated hearing loss affects confidence, relationships, and wellbeing. Supporting someone on their hearing journey is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. 

 3. Hear better without feeling self-conscious

There's still a lot of stigma around hearing aids, but modern technology is discreet, comfortable, and incredibly effective. My goal is always to help people hear better without feeling self-conscious. 

4. Hearing loss affects more than just the ears

 Hearing loss doesn't just affect the ears — it affects communication, connection, and quality of life. When someone finally says, 'I can hear properly again,' it's a genuinely emotional moment for us at the clinic. 

Many individuals postpone having a hearing assessment until they notice hearing issues. However, similar to other health check-ups, regular hearing assessments are important, regardless of the presence or absence of hearing loss.

Early detection of hearing loss significantly increases the likelihood of successful treatment.

Hearing assessments are particularly vital because hearing loss can easily go unnoticed. If you are struggling with hearing loss, remember that you are not alone, and help is available.

For many, reaching out, connecting with others, seeking treatment, and dispelling hearing loss myths can make a significant difference.

Even if you are uncertain about having hearing loss or have not considered testing, regular checks, akin to eye examinations, are crucial for preventing further hearing damage and safeguarding long-term health.

Warwick Hearing Specialists  offer a wide range of services, including various hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, speech testing, wax removal (micro suction and irrigation), and it caters to people of all ages from as young as five years old.
