Definitely get yourself assessed - you need an accurate picture of your hearing abilities.

I realized that my hearing loss was affecting others because I had to keep the TV louder than others wanted and often found myself asking people to repeat themselves. Before contacting Great Lakes Hearing, I wondered how effective and convenient hearing aids would be. My first impressions of the clinic were that they were warm, friendly, and supportive. Since wearing hearing aids, I am more involved in conversations and get more enjoyment from singing with a choir. My favorite thing has been their responsiveness to my questions and requests. I would tell anyone concerned about their hearing to definitely get yourself assessed—you need an accurate picture of your hearing abilities.
