Is this hearing loss?

[voiceoverlady]

I don't know if I'm being a hypochondriac but it just dawned on me that maybe I'm having hearing loss..

I find it difficult to focus on what DP is saying if the TV/music is on and I'm often having to ask him to repeat what he's saying (usually blaming him for mumbling ). Likewise when I push DS home from nursery in the buggy if we're going past traffic I can't hear him either.
Also, and I know this sounds stupid, but everything just seems quieter too.

There's no history of hearing loss in my family though. Not sure if this is worthy of a GP visit.

Has anyone else suffered hearing loss and had these symptoms? Would love to know others experiences please!

Title should say hearing loss

We've edited the title for you, OP.

Go to the GP. It could be something as simple as a build up of wax in your ears

Sorry, yes it does sound like it but ^^

You could also book a hearing test at specsavers. It’s worth having someone look in your ears. It could just be wax.

Thank you @MNHQ
And thanks to you both. Hadn't considered that it might just be a build up of earwax. I'm not usually a waxy person but I hope it's just that!

I'll book myself in at Specsavers thank you @PurpleDaisies
