What does hearing loss sound like?

I can hear, but I don’t understand properly

Hearing loss often affects our ability to understand speech. In particular, the consonants /P/, /K/, /F/, /H/ or all /T/, /Sh/ and /S/ sounds are no longer heard.


Sound tracks

We can't hear what other people hear. People with hearing loss are usually unable to explain how the hearing loss affects them or what they hear and what they don’t hear.

The following sound tracks are meant to give you or other people an idea of how hearing loss changes perception.
