Hearing is essential to full enjoyment and participation in life. Unfortunately, today 1 in 10 Americans — over 30 million people — experience some degree of hearing loss. Hearing loss is the third leading chronic health condition among Americans, after arthritis and high blood pressure.

Consequences of Untreated Hearing Loss

You might be a little surprised to know that the typical person with hearing loss waits over five years to see a health care professional for an evaluation. Although hearing loss is not a life threatening condition, it is a condition that does lower the overall quality of life for those suffering from it. The good news is that well-designed clinical studies have shown that when hearing aids are properly fitted they significantly improve the overall quality of life for their users.

Benefits of Wearing a Hearing Aid

According to a recent study, people with hearing loss who choose to hear better by using hearing aids say their decision made significant improvements in many areas of their lives. From closer relationships at home to greater independence in social settings, the study of over 2,000 adults with hearing loss clearly concludes that hearing aids improve lives.
