HOW COMMON IS HEARING LOSS?

Hearing loss is more common than many think and is linked to several factors. Aging can significantly increase the risk, with one in three people over 65 experiencing some level of hearing impairment.

Prolonged exposure to loud noises at work or during recreational activities can also harm hearing. Conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure are linked to hearing loss, highlighting the importance of awareness and proactive prevention.
