1. Do you have a problem hearing over the telephone?

2. Do you have trouble following the conversation when two or more people are talking at the same time?

3. Do people complain that you turn the TV volume up too high?

4. Do you have to strain to understand conversation?

5. Do you have trouble hearing in a noisy background?

6. Do you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves?

7. Do many people you talk to mumble, or not speak clearly?

8. Do you misunderstand what others are saying and respond inappropriately?

9. Do you have trouble understanding the speech of women and children?

10. Do people get annoyed because you misunderstand what they say?

If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, you should visit your hearing instrument specialist at Post Falls Hearing Aid Center, 780 N. Cecil Road, Suite 103, or call (208) 457-8878 for a free hearing evaluation.
