If you have just five friends, one of them is guaranteed to experience hearing loss. It’s the case that 20 percent (one in five) of Americans have hearing loss, according to the Hearing Loss Association of America. The thing is, hearing loss is common. As you age, the more common it becomes. It’s a major public health issue, and it is the third most common physical condition for adults. More statistics are below:

  • Nearly 750 million adults worldwide have hearing loss.
  • Over half a billion people with hearing loss worldwide are under 65.
  • Two thirds of adults with hearing loss are over 70 worldwide.
  • 4 of 5 adults with hearing loss worldwide are 85 and over.
  • 1,100,000,000 young people worldwide are at risk for hearing loss
  • 37.5 million Americans have hearing loss right now.
  • There will be 44 million American adults with hearing loss by 2020.
  • 10 million Americans have noise-related hearing loss.
  • 73.5 million Americans will have hearing loss by 2060.
  • People  65+ are five times more likely to have hearing loss than those people under 65.
  • 22 million workers are exposed to potentially damaging noise each year.
  • 4 million workers go to work in damaging noise each day.
  • Men are twice as likely to have hearing loss than women.
  • 1 in 6 Americans are affected by tinnitus.
  • Human hearing is best between the ages of  18 and 25.
  • Hearing loss is untreated in 85 percent of those people affected.

The good thing is that hearing loss can be treated. The Better Hearing Institute reports that 90 to 95 percent of people with hearing loss can be treated with hearing aids.
