Are you experiencing hearing loss? More than 50 million Americans are either hard of hearing or going deaf at a steady pace. There is a large percentage of these people who are children and young adults. Hearing loss can occur at any age. The earlier it is caught, the better chance you have to receive treatment and slow the progression of the loss.

When you lose your hearing, your brain will automatically attempt to compensate for the loss by filling in the blanks. Because hearing loss is so gradual, many people who experience it tend to ignore the symptoms until it gets serious.
