If sound seems stronger on one side, or you often turn your head to hear better, it might be time to reflect on your hearing.

Notice subtle imbalance in how you hear

Hearing differences between ears can be easy to ignore at first — until they start affecting how you orient to voices, music, or background noise. You might find yourself leaning in with one ear, rotating your head in conversations, or missing words when someone speaks from one side. A hearing self-check isn’t a diagnosis, but it can help you identify if there’s a shift worth paying attention to. Taking this step could support your awareness and help maintain confidence in everyday interactions.
