If you are thinking about your hearing and considering hearing aids in Munster, IN, and Flossmoor, IL you will have lots of questions and things to think about. Dr. Arthur Katz has many years of experience as an otolaryngologist providing treatment for conditions of the ears, nose, and throat.

Hearing loss can be a very isolating condition. It can become almost impossible to join in conversations especially when there is more than just one person that is talking around you. It can result in avoiding seeing people and just staying home by yourself. Considering hearing aids is something that you can discuss with your ENT, and it can make a real difference in your life.

Do People Complain About the Volume of Your TV or Radio?

Are you getting complaints from other members of the family about the volume that you need to have on your TV or radio in order to hear it? That is one of the early signs that maybe you are suffering from some type of hearing loss. If you have been complaining that the shows are just not loud enough anymore, it probably isn't the TV or radio, it is probably hearing loss. 

Do You Make People Repeat What They Said?
