The average person waits around seven years to address hearing loss1, but delaying treatment can lead to significant consequences including social isolation and loneliness. Hearing Australia recommends veterans get a hearing check every three years, after the age of 50. Or, if there are noticeable changes, such as difficulty understanding conversations or needing to turn up the volume on the TV or phone, schedule a hearing check immediately.
