Did you know that hearing loss affects one in three people who are over the age of 60, an occurrence that increases to one in two by age 75? 1 Whether brought on by aging itself, environmental conditions, or genetic predisposition, hearing loss will likely affect each of us at one time or another. But how might you know that you could have hearing loss? Glad you asked.
Thanks to our friends at the American Academy of Audiology, we’re able to share with you these five most-common signs of hearing loss. See if you or someone you know demonstrates these behaviors.
Hearing loss is a highly individual experience; none of us experience it in exactly the same way and each of us tends to respond to it differently, too. Denying difficulty in hearing only prolongs and exacerbates the situation. For many of us who are aging, it’s one of life’s realities but it’s one we can manage successfully if we accept and address it sooner rather than later.
If you or someone you know is showing these signs of hearing loss, take charge of the matter and visit a hearing health specialist soon. In addition, a caption phone may be beneficial to help you stay connected to those you love. Visit our Sign Me Up page to learn more or call 866-246-7850. Today, there are a wide variety of solutions to help you get what you’ve been missing.
