Should I get a hearing test?

There's all ages at ear test places, sure it's mostly old people but there's young people as well and the tests are really quite simple.

Thank you for your response, is this something you have experience with?

Yeah I've had quite a lot when I was young and some more recent, I've had them in a hospital setting so it might be a little different but if you have any questions I'm sure I'll have an idea!

Thank you that's very kind, do you just have hearing difficulties or something then. Because the other problem for me is whether the difficulties I have are normal or not.

I had glue ear as a child which just meant I couldn't hear as well as I should have. More recently I've just had non ear related health issues but I had to get an ear test at one of my Dr's appointment due to balance issues and a near constant ringing/buzzing but that didn't end up being ear related.
If you have difficulties they are very likely not normal but they also might not mean a problem in your ears so getting it checked out is best.
What problems do you have if you don't mind me asking?

So I'd say you should go get an ear test or go to the Gp about these because that's not normal but that also doesn't sound like issues with your actual ear but with the connection between your ear and brain (I have similar with my eyes) this is of course a really uneducated guess but the human body is meant to run with no issues so deffinetly get checked out. I find if I go with an actual written out list I find it much less stressful

Thank you for that advice, it's greatly appreciated. I'll think about going at some point.

Is this a new development as well? If it is go sooner because degrigation of your hearing could mean something more.

Well everything i mentioned above has been rather long term, I've experienced the various things above for a year and longer.

If you aren't dead yet you'll be OK for now, hope it goes ok

I have finally been for a hearing test at Specsavers! Apparently I have a rather "significant hearing loss" and will most likely require hearing aids. I have been told though that before they help me I need to see a GP which is really very annoying! I'm considering options which may not require a GP!

Did you do that test? How did it go?
