Top 5 Signs You Might Need a Hearing Test

Your hearing is something you might not think about every day—until it starts to affect your life. At Delta Hearing Clinic in Melton, we often see patients who didn’t realise their hearing had changed until it impacted their communication, work, or relationships. If you’re unsure whether it’s time to get a hearing test, here are five common signs to watch for.

1. You Frequently Ask People to Repeat Themselves

If “Sorry, what was that?” has become part of your everyday conversations, it might be more than background noise or fast talkers. Repeatedly needing clarification could indicate hearing loss, especially in noisy environments.

2. You Struggle to Hear in Noisy Settings

Do you find it difficult to follow conversations in cafes, restaurants, or family gatherings? This can be a sign of sensorineural hearing loss, where background noise overwhelms speech clarity. A hearing test can determine the extent of the issue and identify potential solutions.

3. Your TV or Radio Volume Keeps Going Up

If family members complain that your television is too loud—or if you struggle to hear your favourite shows even at a high volume—it’s time to book a hearing test. You shouldn’t have to blast sound to stay connected.

4. You Feel Isolated or Withdrawn

Many people with undiagnosed hearing loss start avoiding social interactions because they’re tired of asking others to repeat themselves or feeling left out. If this sounds familiar, it’s important to address it early. Hearing tests are quick, non-invasive, and could greatly improve your quality of life.

5. You Hear Ringing or Buzzing Sounds

Persistent ringing, buzzing, or hissing noises in your ears—known as tinnitus—can sometimes indicate hearing loss. A professional hearing test can uncover the underlying causes and help with management strategies.
