Hearing is one of the most important senses that helps us stay connected with family, friends, and the world around us.
Even a slight difficulty in hearing can make conversations stressful, lead to social withdrawal, and impact brain health over time. Many people ignore the early signs of mild-to-moderate hearing loss, thinking it is just a minor issue, but timely detection is crucial. In this blog, we will explore what mild-to-moderate hearing loss means, its common symptoms, how it can be tested, and the solutions available to improve hearing health.

What is Mild-to-Moderate Hearing Loss?

Hearing loss occurs when the ears or auditory pathways cannot process sounds effectively. In mild-to-moderate cases, the ability to hear soft sounds or speech from a distance becomes difficult. Everyday situations like listening to a low conversation, watching TV at normal volume, or talking on the phone in a noisy environment can feel challenging.Moderate Hearing Loss: Get tested and explore solutions for better hearing | Aanvii Hearin


People with mild hearing loss may struggle with whispers or soft sounds, while those with moderate hearing loss often find it hard to follow group discussions, especially if there is background noise. Although this condition does not cause complete deafness, it can significantly reduce quality of life if left untreated.

Symptoms of Mild-to-Moderate Hearing Loss:

If you notice any of the following, it may be a sign to book a hearing test:

·        Difficulty hearing whispers, soft voices, or sounds like birds chirping.

·        Trouble following conversations when there is background noise.

·        Asking people to repeat themselves frequently.

·        Increasing the TV or music volume higher than usual.

·        Struggling to hear clearly on phone calls.

·        Feeling ringing, buzzing, or tinnitus in one or both ears.

·        Feeling mentally tired after long conversations, as the brain works harder to process unclear sounds.

Recognizing these early warning signs is important because hearing problems often worsen gradually, and many people adapt without realizing how much they are missing.

How is Mild-to-Moderate Hearing Loss Diagnosed?

The only way to confirm the extent of  is through professional evaluation by an audiologist. At Aanvii Hearing, we use advanced diagnostic equipment to identify the type and degree of hearing loss. Common tests include:

1. Pure-Tone Audiometry

This is the most widely used test where patients listen to sounds at different pitches and volumes through headphones. The results are plotted on an audiogram, showing the exact level of hearing loss.

2. Speech Testing

This test checks how well you can understand words and sentences in quiet as well as noisy conditions. It helps audiologists evaluate your real-world listening ability.

3. Tympanometry

This test assesses the movement of the eardrum and helps detect middle ear problems, fluid, or blockages.

4. Advanced Tests

In some cases, advanced tests such as BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) or ASSR (Auditory Steady-State Response) may be recommended to evaluate how the brain responds to sound.
