Who Has a Hearing Loss?

Hearing Health

Hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic condition behind arthritis and hypertension.  According to the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders, approximately 32.5 million Americans have a hearing loss (1 in 10).

• 1 in 6 baby boomers have a hearing loss
• 1 in 4 people over age 65 have a hearing loss
• 1 in 2 over the age of 75 have a hearing loss

You lose your hearing gradually, so symptoms are often hard to notice.
