Do I really need hearing aids? test results included

Ive looked thru the comments and agree with many but have questions. One is most all do not know what our hearing was like when young. 0 is an average of 500 young adults which means some, I am one was at least -5 or -10 so at 20 its a mild hearing loss. Also that fact that you show that conductive component Im guessing the headphones could have been causing a false conductive component and why I only use inserts (this would also agree more with the results from the ipods). So with a loss like this the real answer is are you having difficulty and where and how much. Most have a trial period and so consider this as well and what comes with the price quoted. I will tell you there is a big difference between the high end and the rest. proven to me by multiple patients. It really is your decision and that you are researching it is wonderful. good luck

The short answer to your question is you may consider hearing aids if your hearing loss negatively impacts your daily functioning. That is subjective, no matter what your audiogram looks like.

There is some science supporting the idea that untreated hearing loss can increase the likelihood of later cognitive issues, like dementia.

All the best!

To my question? I didn’t ask any

My response was for the OP. I’m not surprised that I answered in response to the wrong person while multitasking.
