Common signs include difficulty hearing in noisy environments, frequently asking for repetition, increased volume levels, persistent tinnitus, ear pain or fullness, and dizziness. Experts recommend timely hearing evaluations, especially for older adults, those with chronic conditions, and individuals exposed to loud noise. Early screening in children is also crucial to support development and prevent complications.
