Section 01 — Symptom Audit

Do you experience this?

Select everything that applies. This isn't a diagnosis — it's a map.

Difficulty following conversations in groups

Restaurants, family gatherings, meetings with multiple voices

Struggling to understand callers clearly

Asking people to repeat themselves on the phone

Raising the TV volume more than before

Others in the room find the volume uncomfortably high

Frequently asking people to repeat themselves

Especially in quiet one-on-one conversations

Ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears

Tinnitus — often a first indicator of noise exposure or loss

Missing high-pitched sounds (birds, doorbells)

High-frequency loss is the most common pattern in adults

Feeling mentally tired after conversations

Listening fatigue from compensating for reduced clarity

Child's teacher flagged delayed speech response

Pediatric hearing concerns warrant early evaluation

Section 03 — Patient Outcomes

Three patients. Three reasons they waited too long.

High-frequency loss identified & fitted
"My wife had been telling me for two years the TV was too loud. I kept saying the shows were just mixed badly. The audiogram showed a 35dB drop at 4kHz. I wear the Phonak aids now and last week I heard a whispered conversation across the restaurant table for the first time in years."

Robert Tanner

Retired civil engineer, 67 · Hearing aids fitted March 2025

Speech-in-noise deficit identified
"I missed a key detail in a board meeting — the kind you can't ask to have repeated. I told myself it was a bad day. Dr. Osei-Bonsu's speech-in-noise test showed exactly why quiet rooms aren't the problem. The problem is noise. I had no idea there was a difference."

VP of Operations, 44 · Evaluated November 2024

Conductive hearing loss treated early
"Our son's teacher mentioned he was asking for instructions repeated more than the other kids. I assumed it was attention. The tympanometry found fluid behind both eardrums — a condition that's completely treatable. We caught it before it affected his speech development."
