If you’re picking up the wrong words or asking “What did you say?” more than usual — it might be time to check in with your hearing.
Confused conversations may hold clues
Hearing issues don’t always mean silence — sometimes, it’s about distortion. You may think someone said one thing when they meant another, leading to awkward pauses or repeated clarifications. This can cause frustration or even make you avoid conversations altogether. A hearing self-check can’t diagnose anything, but it may help you notice patterns in how you process speech. Taking a moment to explore your hearing could help you feel more confident and connected in everyday communication.
