Did you know that approximately 15% of Americans over 18 report some trouble hearing? Shocking, right? Despite this, only 34% of people with self-identified hearing loss wear amplification, and on average, people wait 4.8 years until getting an initial professional hearing evaluation! Hearing loss is one of the most modifiable risk factors to possibly prevent or delay cognitive decline. In fact, surveys from numerous organizations found that hearing aids are underused. But why? Here are some common hearing aid myths that prevent people from using them.

Myth 1: They are just little plastic things so they shouldn’t cost so much.
Myth 2: Hearing aids will restore my hearing to normal.
Myth 3: Hearing aids are all alike.
Myth 4: My hearing loss is not bad enough for hearing aids.
Myth 5: My family member or friend had hearing aids and said they didn’t help.
Myth 6: Hearing aids are big and noticeable and make me look old.

Don't believe these myths! Today's hearing aids are stylish, discreet, and much smaller than they were years ago. They also provide significant benefit and improvement to your communication and listening abilities, improving your overall quality of life. If you are experiencing hearing loss or communication difficulties, reach out to a hearing care provider to see if hearing aids are right for you.
