Facts About Hearing Loss *More than 2.5 million cases of hearing impairment are reported annually in the United States? Permanent hearing loss can result from repeated exposure to noise at hazardous levels like noise from firearms, rock music, portable tape and CD players with headphones, jet airplanes, lawn mowers, power tools and many others. Approximately 30% of the people over age 65 and 70-80% over 75 years of age have significant hearing impairment. Baby boomers (35-55 years of age) are showing increased hearing loss at earlier ages. Hearing loss can affect the quality of life. Elderly people with a hearing impairment experience reduced mobility, reduced involvement in social activities, and loneliness.

Add those together and it equals a diminished quality of life. Thanks to modern technology, however, today, most people can benefit from hearing devices. There are a wide range from which to choose and each can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
