The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed another ailment many of us didn’t know we suffered from…hearing loss.

AP reports that more and more people are just discovering they can’t hear as well as they thought they did…because they were relying on lip reading to offset it.

It’s very common…reading lips is something we all do unconsciously to hear better.

But with mask-wearing we no longer have that crutch…not to mention the difficulty of hearing others through masks.

If you’ve noticed a loss of hearing lately, it may be time to get a checkup!
