Hearing Health Quick Test
To score the Hearing Health Quick Test, score 2 points for Yes, 1 point for Sometimes, and 0 points for No. Scores of 3 or more may mean that you have a hearing problem. Scores of 6 or more strongly suggest that a hearing check is warranted. In either case, ask the Atlanta Hearing Doctor to test your hearing.
