I have a similar sort of problem... my Dad's hearing is starting to go & he listens to the TV/Radio very loud. I'm sure my hearing has suffered a bit because of it.

He sometimes doesn't hear what people are saying when talking to them too but he refuses to even check to see if he needs hearing aids, which I'm sure he does.

The only good thing he's done is get a pair of wireless headphones... he can listen to the TV with those at a separate volume from the speakers on the TV. I wish he'd just go to see the Doctor though.
