• Do you complain that people are mumbling?
• Do you frequently ask people to repeat what they have said?
• Do you prefer the television or radio louder than other people?
• Do you have trouble understanding what is being said at the movies, at the theater, at church, or other public gatherings?
• Do you have difficulty understanding someone if they are speaking from a different room?
• Have you become impatient, irritable, frustrated, or withdrawn?
• Do you have trouble understanding people when you cannot see their faces?
• Do you strain to hear conversations?
• Do you avoid being the first person to start a conversation?
• Do you have trouble hearing when people speak softly?
• Do you have trouble hearing on the telephone?
