Hearing statistics

3 in 10 people over age 60 have hearing loss
1 in 6 baby boomers (born 1946-1964), or 14.6%, have a hearing problem
1 in 14 Generation X-ers (born 1965-1980), or 7.4%, already have hearing loss
At least 1.4 million children (18 or younger) have hearing problems
It is estimated that 3 in 1,000 infants are born with serious to profound hearing loss.

There are four types of hearing loss

Conductive: This could be caused by something as simple as earwax buildup!
Sensorineural: This is caused when tiny hairs in the cochlea are missing or damaged.
Mixed: This is a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
Central: Strokes and central nerve diseases are often the cause of this type of hearing loss.

Types of Hearing Loss

Not all hearing loss can be corrected through the use of hearing aids or alternative listening devices. The type of hearing loss determines the specific treatment required.
