Statistics from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) show that men are more likely to experience hearing loss than women.
There is a strong relationship between age and reported hearing loss: 18 percent of American adults 45-64 years old, 30 percent of adults 65-74 years old, and 47 percent of adults 75 years old or older have a hearing loss.
Please encourage your loved one to seek the help of a professional to evaluate their hearing.
