Do I have a hearing problem?

I always slur my words and speak quickly which started recently.i also speak quietly, so when asking someone something, for example being at dinner and asking for the salt I will say it, and not understand why no one is anwsering and then repeat it 5 times until people hear (the room is almost completly silent with some small noises like chewing) I also have to ask people to repeat things a lot, but eventually just say oh. When music in parties is loud everyone complains but I dont think it's loud.

I never

Is ten to loud music, and barely use ear buds. So are these sighns of hearing loss, I go to yearly health check ups and no doctor has mentioned a problem with my ear.

    Do not go to a doctor. Doctors arte not equipped with hearing loss tests. FInd a audiologist and have them test you. You seem to have a mild to moderate degree hearing loss. You might have sensio neural hearing loss (which means your hairs in your cochelea are really weak) and that has no cure. however, Phonak's hearing aids are good. Do NOT go to starkey. They have terrible hearing aids. :) Hope i helped!

    Source(s): I have a moderate to severe hearing loss :)
