Hearing Care is Health Care™
These days, if you're like most Americans, you invest time and effort in the important task of taking care of your health. You go to the dentist. You see the eye doctor. And of course, your regular physician. But generally, many people forget one thing – taking care of their hearing health.
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), about 15% of American adults (37.5 million) aged 18 and over report some trouble hearing. Hearing loss cuts across age, gender, economic status and location. Yet only 16% of adults (20 to 69) with hearing loss who could benefit from hearing aids actually use them.
Hearing loss and dementia: What's your risk?
Hearing loss can affect more than just your hearing. It’s important to be aware of other related health concerns that can come along with untreated hearing loss. Get the answers and information you need.
What is the first step towards getting help?
Just like vision care, dental care and other health care, regular hearing exams can help you determine solutions right for you. It’s time to find a hearing care professional near you to get an evaluation and take the first step towards better hearing.
