Following\nConversations Is Hard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"man](\"https:\/\/indianahearingspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/man-in-red-polo-shirt-sitting-near-chalkboard-3779448-1-1280x777.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHearing loss\nis caused by damage to the inner ear. One of the first things to go is your\nability to detect high-pitched tones. Since background noise is usually\nlow-pitched, while most speech sounds are high, your ears find it easier to\nhear the sounds in the background rather than those coming from the people\naround you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feelings\nLike Your Ears Are Clogged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If your\ndoctor reports there is nothing in your ears, but they still feel clogged, this\nis a strong indication that you may be experiencing early signs of hearing\nloss. Hearing loss caused by aging can cause sounds to seem dull of muffled.\nThis sensation is similar to a clogged feeling in the ear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On most\ntelevision programs, dialogue, sounds effects and background music are played\nat the same time. Since mild hearing loss affects your ability to hear high\ntones, you can often hear the bass tones of the music and sound effects better\nthan the banter between the characters. In order to follow the plot, you may\nfind yourself turning the volume up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling\nExhausted After Social Events <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you have\nhearing loss, your brain is getting limited information. In order to make up\nfor that, your brain will try to fill in the gaps by exerting more effort to\nmake sense of what others are saying. At the end of a social event, you may\nfeel exhausted from the additional mental strain, especially if you have tried\nto carry on a conversation with more than one person at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focusing\non Lip Reading Over Eye Contact <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Another thing your brain will do to try to fill in the missing pieces is watch the lips of people as they speak.
