About Hearing Loss

A Major Health Crisis You Can Do Something About

Hearing loss affects far more people than most realize. Nearly 48 million Americans—about 20% of the population—experience some level of hearing loss. By age 65, 1 in 3 people struggle with hearing, and more than 60% of them are still active in the workforce or attending school.

Hearing loss is now recognized as a major public health issue, ranking as the third most common physical condition in the U.S., just behind arthritis and heart disease.

Why Does Hearing Loss Happen?

  • For adults, the two most common causes are noise exposure and aging. Hearing typically decreases gradually with age, but it can also change suddenly.

  • Noise-induced hearing loss, from gunfire, explosions, or loud environments, is the leading service-connected disability among today’s veterans.

  • Many people also experience tinnitus (ringing in the ears) alongside hearing loss, which can be just as disruptive to daily life.

There Is Hope — And Today’s Technology Is Remarkable

If you’re experiencing hearing loss, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to live with it. Modern hearing aid technology is more advanced, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before.

Today’s devices can dramatically improve clarity, reduce listening fatigue, and help you reconnect with the people and moments that matter, all at an affordable cost.
