I can’t hear. It sounds like people are mumbling do I need hearing aids?
Schugar21 asked:
I am only fourteen…But my friends all call me deaf and think I need hearing aids. I don’t go to concerts much. I do listen to my iPod quite a bit…but not on full volume. I’ve been looking at hearing aids..but I don’t know for sure. I’m thinking about having my school nurse give me a hearing test. I think my dad had some ear problems as a child or something,,,no clue if hearing loss is genetic at all…but anyway….any suggestions? Help?

Go have your school nurse or your usual doctor peek in your ears, you might have a lot of cerumen buildup (earwax) and that can effect your hearing. Don’t put q-tips in your ear canal, and don’t try to remove any wax yourself.

I agree. Have the school nurse do a hearing test. Hearing loss can be caused by a lot of things including having ear infections. I have hearing aids and they are wonderful. Not as good as my hearing was, but much better than not being able to hear.

go to an audiologist. they can determine if your hearing is being affected by wax, an infection, or possibly if you were born with it, like i was. if your dad had problems, it could very well be genetics. (hearing loss can be hereditary)
hearing aids are extremely expensive ($2000-2800 per aid), but very much worth it. but please, go to an audiologist to figure out exactly what’s going on in your ears.
