Deaf Parrot

Are there any signs when a parrot is going deaf? Mine used to talk a lot but now all he does is piercing shrieks and screams. Nothing has changed in his environment that I am aware of. The shrieks are so shrill I will go deaf soon I fear. It hurts my ears bad. He may say Hello or What every now and then but that is about it.
