I can hear better with my left ear. Is this normal?
Typically, you will hear equally well with both ears. Occasionally, one ear can be better than the other, for one reason or another. The best thing you can do is go have your hearing checked by an audiologist to see how you are hearing in both ears. If there is a problem, and you need further testing, the audiologist can recommend that as well. READ MORE

What is the best way to treat hearing loss due to age?
Age related hearing loss is a common problem for older people. If he has not had a hearing test, that would be the first step. The next step would be to assess treatment options, which might include hearing devices. Hearing aids are a great help to people that have no medical treatment for hearing loss. In fact, studies have shown that people that have a hearing loss and treat it with hearing aids keep their abilities to understand speech longer than those that choose not to treat their hearing loss. So, to summarize, get a hearing test, and treat the hearing loss in an appropriate manner and keep good follow-up appointments with his audiologist for routine care and maintenance of the hearing aids.

What tests are available to me to confirm possible hearing loss?
You need to have a comprehensive audiogram. This will include testing different pitches to find the softest level you can hear. The test also includes a speech understanding portion that helps to determine how well you understand speech when it is presented at a comfortable listening level. A comprehensive audiogram will tell you the type and degree of hearing impairment you are experiencing. READ MORE
