What to do if you think you have hearing loss

Most people who have hearing loss aren’t born with it. Instead, hearing loss creeps up on us over time, usually caused by exposure to loud noises, aging, or some combination of the two.

Statistics show that the prevalence of hearing loss doubles for every decade of life, which explains why one out of three people 65-74 have hearing loss, nearly half over 75 have it, and four out of five people 85+ have hearing loss.

In other words, for most of us, hearing loss is normal and natural—just part of living a long, eventful life.

In this blog, we’ll walk through the eight things you should do if and when hearing loss happens to you.
