Facts about hearing loss

1. Only a Few People are Hearing Impaired - the fact is that more than 1 in 10 people are hearing impaired in North America and that increases to over 4 in 10 by age 65.


2. Most Hearing Problems Cannot be Helped - the fact is, over 90% of those suffering today from hearing loss, can be effectively treated.


3. Living with Hearing Loss is not a Big Deal - the fact is that hearing loss can lead to withdrawal and even depression if left untreated.


4. If I had a Hearing Problem, I would Certainly Know It - the fact is that most hearing loss develops slowly and over time. People adjust to that loss so we think our hearing is fine.


5. I Can’t Afford a Really Good Hearing Instrument - the fact is that better hearing technology is within the reach of most people. Many people will qualify for government-based assistance.


6. Hearing Instruments Don’t Work - the fact is technology continues to improve and while no hearing instrument can restore lost hearing, there are many devices and programs that will improve the quality of life for those who have hearing challenges.


7. Hearing Instruments are Obvious and Unattractive - the fact is that many of the newest styles of devices are so discreet that they are invisible or nearly so.
