Fewer people have their hearing checked than eyes, teeth and blood pressure
People have been urged to get their hearing tested to avoid undiagnosed illnesses, a charity has warned.
This is in stark contrast to people having other health updates including 53% who got a dental check-up, 46% who had an eye test or 44% who had their blood pressure checked. Other symptoms which would most likely encourage some to get a hearing check included having difficulty following a conversation in a noisy place like a restaurant or party, according to 40% of people, while 36% said they would seek help if they often found people were mumbling or not speaking clearly.
Crystal Rolfe, the RNID’s associate director for health, said: “Everyone should be valuing and protecting their hearing as much as they value and protect their teeth, eyes or blood pressure, and this can all start with a simple hearing check.
