Often times we don’t consider hearing health until suffering a major impairment. However, the warning signs of hearing damage or loss were likely present long before.
According to WebMD, hearing loss is the third most common health problem in the U.S. and the statistics continue to rise as nearly 36 million Americans suffer from hearing loss. Age can contribute to hearing loss, but genetics, illness or injury, and environment can also play a role.
Levels of hearing loss can range from mild to the most severe, which is referred to profound. At the profound level, one cannot hear speech without a hearing aid or cochlear implant.
WebMD outlines a number of symptoms of hearing loss, including difficulty understanding or following conversations or hearing ringing, roaring or hissing sounds in the ears, among other concerns. For more symptoms and additional information about hearing loss, visit WebMD.
