Signs of hearing loss
Hearing loss can make certain syllables and sounds more difficult to hear. For
example, high-pitched consonants such as “f,” “s” and “t” are easily drowned out
by louder, low-pitched vowels such as “a,” “o” and “u.” As a result, if anyone says
“statue” and all you can hear is “s_a_ue,” you will be forced to guess the rest.
