Detect the Early Signs of Hearing Loss

Knowing the signs of hearing loss can help you catch it before it affects your hearing health. Let us help.

Early Hearing Loss Signs

Recognising the early signs of hearing loss can help you stay one step ahead in protecting your hearing health. Hearing loss often develops gradually, making it easy to miss until you start noticing the world around you feels quieter or less clear.

At Triton Hearing, our clinical teams are here to help you understand your hearing and take action if needed. Connect with our hearing experts today and take the first step toward better hearing.

Signs You Should Check Your Hearing

Do you know when it might be time for a hearing check? If you have trouble holding a conversation in a crowded restaurant or often feel like people are mumbling, you could be noticing early signs of hearing loss.

If you're experiencing these challenges — or any of the others listed below — we encourage you to start with our free online hearing test to see where your hearing currently stands.

Turning up the volume on the TV

Asking people to repeat themselves

Difficulty hearing in noisy places

Ringing in your ears

Muffled or abnormal speech

Loud Noise Exposure

Sudden exposure to loud noise doesn’t always cause immediate hearing damage, but wearing proper hearing protection in noisy environments is essential. Long-term exposure to everyday loud sounds — like construction work, live music, or heavy traffic — can also contribute to noise-induced hearing loss over time.

Muffled Speech & Sound

One of the earliest signs of hearing loss often shows up during everyday conversations with friends and family. If you find it difficult to understand what others are saying, or notice yourself asking people to repeat themselves more often, it might be time to check your hearing. You can start with an online screening or book a full hearing evaluation with a professional.

Constant Ear Ringing

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing in one or both ears when no external sound is present. It may happen intermittently or be constant. Several factors can cause tinnitus, and in some cases, it can be an early warning sign of hearing loss or another underlying condition. Some of the early signs of tinnitus include:

  • Hearing buzzing, swishing, or ringing
  • Hearing loss accompanied by dizziness
  • Trouble sleeping due to ear ringing
  • Hearing a pulse or heartbeat (pulsatile tinnitus)
