A meal with friends, a conversation on a caf\u00e9 terrace or a phone call with family. These moments are part of enjoying your stay in Mallorca. But if you increasingly need people to repeat themselves or struggle to understand speech in noisy surroundings, it is worth paying attention.<\/p>\n
Small changes that can go unnoticed<\/p>\n
Turning up the television, losing track of a conversation or finding it difficult to hear on the phone can be signs of hearing loss. Sometimes, people around you notice the change before you do.<\/p>\n
It is not always about age<\/p>\n
Hearing loss can have different causes. Some, such as a build-up of earwax or an infection, can be treated. Others require a specialist assessment to determine which options may help.<\/p>\n
An examination can help identify the cause and establish whether you need hearing tests.<\/p>\n
When should you seek medical advice?<\/p>\n
Arrange an assessment if you notice your hearing gradually getting worse. If hearing loss occurs suddenly in one or both ears, worsens over a few days or is accompanied by ear pain or discharge, seek urgent medical care.<\/p>\n
Look after your hearing during your stay<\/p>\n
When spending time away from home, it is easy to put off appointments until you return. However, if hearing difficulties are affecting your everyday life, it is worth having them checked.<\/p>\n
