3 Common Myths about Hearing Loss

Myth:
Hearing loss only affects “old people” and is a normal sign of aging.

Reality:
Only 35% of hearing loss patients are older than 64. Close to 6 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 44 have hearing loss.

Myth:
If I had a hearing loss, my family doctor would have told me.

Reality:
Only 14% of family doctors routinely screen for hearing loss. Since most people with hearing impairments hear well in a quiet environment like a doctor’s office, it can be difficult for physicians to recognize the problem.

Myth:
Most hearing loss cannot be helped.

Reality:
In the past, many people with a high-frequency hearing loss or nerve damage were told that they could not be helped, but with modern technological advances, nearly 95% of people with sensorineural hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids.
