For example, you may not be able to distinguish similar sounding words or hear higher Pitched Voices, such as those of children. Other signs include difficulty with cross-conversations, hearing at a distance such as in meetings, listening to the TV or radio, or hearing in large buildings where there may be echoes such as in churches or auditoria.
I think I have a hearing problem, what to do?
If you think you have a hearing loss, the first thing you need to do is have a Hearing Test at Shruti Hearing Clinic .

If your hearing loss isn’t due to these problems, then our hearing aid audiologist will be able to recommend hearing aids suitable for the level of your hearing loss and your lifestyle.
