• Do you have difficulty hearing the doorbell or telephone ring?
• Is it ever difficult for you to hear the conversation on your telephone?
• Has someone close to you mentioned that you might have a problem with your hearing?
• Do you avoid social activities because you cannot hear well and fear you will respond improperly during conversations with family and friends?
