🦻 It may be your hearing, not their speaking.
Many people assume hearing loss means sounds become quieter. In reality, one of the earliest signs is often difficulty understanding speech clearly - especially in busy environments.
You might notice that people seem to mumble more often, or that following conversations in restaurants, family gatherings, or meetings takes much more effort than it used to.
Hearing changes often develop gradually, which is why they can be difficult to recognise at first.
If you find yourself asking others to repeat themselves frequently, it's worth paying attention. Hearing well isn't just about volume - it's about clarity, communication, and staying connected to the people around you.
