Quite Often, hearing loss begins subtly, around the age of 40. Most people ignore the symptoms because the loss is not dramatic. Slight hearing loss is often considered a minor inconvenience; as such many people simply hope it will go away. As with any medical need, waiting too long will only increase the problem, and often complicates the treatment.
One of the largest segments of our aging society -- Baby Boomers -- suffer from the effects of life-long, increased noise pollution: loud music, automobiles, planes, etc. This life-long exposure has become the leading cause of hearing loss. About 40% of those with hearing impairments are under age 65. The effects are long lasting and increasingly more prevalent. About 40% of those with hearing impairments are under age 65. And, it will affect them longer, because they are living longer. Hearing loss is the third most common chronic health problem - suffered by 10% of the population, or 31 million people. Fortunately, it is far more treatable than other leading medical conditions.
If you, your loved ones, or friends, experience any noticeable loss in hearing, contact a professional right away.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound within the ear when there is no external sound, more commonly described as ringing in the ears. There are multiple causes of tinnitus, ranging from side effects of a genetic hearing loss to natural loss as a result of aging. The most common cause of tinnitus is noise-induced hearing loss.
Tinnitus is difficult to measure using standard tests. The condition is often rated clinically on a simple scale from "slight" to "catastrophic" according to the difficulties it imposes, such as interference with sleep, quiet activities, and normal daily activities. Tinnitus is common; about one in five people between 55 and 65 years old report tinnitus.
