Struggling to Hear?

Tiny devices can keep you connected to your life. Many people slowly lose their hearing as they get older. Not being able to hear well can make it hard to communicate. This can affect your relationships, emotional well-being, and work performance. Close to 29 million adults could benefit from hearing aids, yet only 1 in 4 of them has ever used one. An exam of your ears, nose and throat might detect a physical reason why you’re not hearing as well. A doctor can look for ear wax, an infection, injury, or other reason for hearing loss. If ear wax or infection is the cause, the hearing loss may be temporary. Other causes, such as nerve damage, may lead to more permanent hearing loss. Hearing aids may help in these cases. The last 15 years there has seen a major reduction in the size of these devices. Some can be hidden inside the ear canal or worn over the ear. Choosing the best device for you will depend on factors like cost, features and your amount of hearing loss.
