Increasing radio and television volume is usually the first sign of possible hearing loss. This practice is generally more noticeable to others around you than to the one turning up the volume.

Difficulty in hearing when there is background noise can be the first sign to any individual that there is a possible problem with hearing. A person can cut up the volume to hear satisfactorily but there is no way to cut down the volume on noise in the background.

Asking people to repeat sentences can also be a clue to yourself and others that there may be an issue with hearing loss.

Missing key points in a speech or sermon or any public place where the spoken word may be echoed or muffled or simply drowned out by others in the crowd.

Misunderstanding words, names, numbers or other spoken dialog from others at a distance or even up close. Frequently the inability to see the face of the person doing the speaking can cause those with hearing loss to misunderstand what was said.

Constantly straining to hear what’s being said in any situation is a sure clue that there is a problem with ones hearing.

Finally, a family history of hearing loss can almost always be a early indicator of possible hearing problems at any age. Though not entirely hereditary, hearing loss can be genetic.
