When I was young, I presumed I’d need glasses at some point (which I did), but I didn’t think I’d have the signs of hearing loss until well into old age. But – in my late forties – after struggling to understand what people said in busy environments and using subtitles to watch TV, I realised I needed help.
A hearing test then confirmed it. I had hearing loss, and I’d need a hearing aid in a few years.
