Hearing loss is more common than many people realize. In fact, it affects an estimated 38 million Americans and can occur at any age including in children. Because hearing changes often happen gradually, many people don't recognize the signs right away.

You may be experiencing hearing loss if you:

  • Have difficulty following conversations in noisy environments

  • Frequently miss parts of conversations

  • Feel like others are mumbling or not speaking clearly

  • Need to increase the volume on the television or radio

  • Find yourself avoiding social gatherings or group conversations

  • Improved mental health and cognitive well-being

  • Greater confidence and success in the workplace

  • Enhanced emotional well-being and quality of life

  • Stronger connections with family and friends
