That is why sounds or voices may still seem right to you, even though you may already experience a hearing loss. The truth is your brain adjusts to the \u201cnew normal\u201d and tries to compensate for the reduced signals coming from the ears.&nbsp; Over time your brain literally forgets how to hear, because it does not remember how to categorize words and other environmental sounds.<\/p>\n<p>How can I tell if I have a hearing problem?<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer &#8220;yes&#8221; to two or more of these questions, you could have a hearing problem and may need to have your hearing checked.<\/p>\n<p>Do I have a problem hearing on the telephone or cell phone?<\/p>\n<p>YES&nbsp;&nbsp;NO<\/p>\n<p>Do I have trouble hearing when there is noise in the background?<\/p>\n<p>YES&nbsp;&nbsp;NO<\/p>\n<p>Is it hard for me to follow a conversation when two
