Don’t be. Hearing loss is much more common than you may think. In fact, approximately 36 million Americans have hearing loss, which is over one in ten. You’re not alone in your struggle with hearing loss and there are treatment options available that can improve both your hearing and quality of life.

Hearing Loss Increases Risk of Disease

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect your quality of life; it increases your risk of developing serious medical conditions as well.
