CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) - Hearing is something we often take for granted and when it starts to go, we don't realize its impact.
Dr. David Boyd is testing many of his patients hearing.
A quick hearing screen can save your life. Not hearing sirens or other warnings can effect you and those around you.
Here's a quick at home test: sit in a quiet room and with your arms at shoulder length rub your fingers together. If you can not hear any friction at all you likely need a hearing screening.
Your doctor can evaluate types of hearing loss and recommend appropriate the action.
