Hearing Loss...A Common Condition. |
|
More than 28 million Americans suffer from sensorineural hearing loss or "nerve deafness" caused by the damage or deterioration of the tiny sound-sensing hair cells in the inner ear. Although hearing loss is the natural effect of aging, hearing loss can also result from illness and infections, head trauma or injury, congenital causes or birth defects, brought on by certain medications, or exposures to loud sounds, music, or other noises. Hearing loss isn't a condition found only in older adults. In fact, nearly half of the persons with hearing loss are below the age of 65. A recent clinical study by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Institute of Health confirmed that hearing aids provide a substantial benefit to users in both quiet and noisy situations, and add much to improve the quality of life for persons with hearing loss. In other words, you don't have to suffer with hearing loss. |
