What are the symptoms of age-related hearing loss?

Most obviously, the primary symptom of age-related hearing loss is difficulty hearing. Hearing loss symptoms may also present as:

  • Difficulty making out higher pitches, such as children’s voices or some electronic sounds (like tones on a cellphone).
  • Reading lips when others speak to you.
  • Turning the volume up on the TV or radio.
  • Trouble understanding speech in crowded or noisy places, such as restaurants.
  • Tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, roaring noises or “crickets”) in one or both ears.
