Why Is Everyone Mumbling?
Does everyone around you seem to mumble? They did not use to. The answer may be that they are not mumbling at all. You may have a hearing problem. People with this problem have difficulty hearing speech clearly. They hear, but they do not understand. A curious and frustrating aspect of this type of hearing loss is a selective loss of high frequency sounds like P, T, K, Th, S, F, etc. - sounds that add clarity to words. If you have trouble distinguishing “free” from “three,” or “shoe” from “sue,” you may have a hearing loss. Why not have it checked out? See an audiologist who can test your
hearing and educate you further on how to manage your specific hearing loss. Audiologists specialize in the non-medical evaluation and rehabilitation of hearing and balance problems. They have degrees in audiology, are nationally-certified and usually have state licenses. Credentials, reputation and personality are key when choosing any hearing health care provider. Credentials like CCC-A or FAAA indicate someone with audiological experience. Make an appointment to have your hearing checked today. It just might stop the mumbling.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.
