What your hearing signs might mean
The same symptom can have several causes. Muffled hearing might be wax or something else entirely. A proper check separates one from another so you know what to do next.
- My ear has felt blocked since swimming
- Water trapped behind wax can cause a blockage that mimics hearing loss. An audiologist examines the canal to see if clearing it restores normal sound.
- I cannot hear people in busy pubs
- Struggling against background noise often points to early high-frequency hearing loss. A speech-in-noise test measures how well you separate voices from surrounding chatter.
- There is a ringing or hissing sound
- Tinnitus has many causes, from loud noise exposure to simple wax buildup. A full examination rules out physical blockages before looking at other reasons.
- I keep turning the television up
- Gradual volume increases usually signal a shift in hearing thresholds. A hearing test records exactly which pitches have changed and by how much.
