If you are completing the Scrivens’ online hearing test because your hearing has changed, you may be wondering why. There are a number of reasons your hearing may have changed, including:

• Age – for many of us, our hearing changes as we get older. This is very common and isn’t something to worry about. At your appointment, our experts can answer any age-related hearing loss questions you may have and look at solutions to help you hear better.
• Loud noises – working in a noisy environment for a prolonged amount of time can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. If you have been exposed to loud noises and are concerned about your hearing, pop into your local Scrivens Hearing Care branch.
• Illness – occasionally certain illnesses, or medications, can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. If you have been ill or are taking medication that you believe may have altered your hearing, Scrivens Hearing Care is here to help.
