Hearing Aids Are for "Old" People

MYTH: Hearing Aids are for "Old" People.
FACT: Probably one of the biggest impediments to people getting help for hearing loss is the belief that only "old" people wear hearing aids, and that others will think you are old. Hearing loss does not mean old age. Many people develop hearing loss in their 40's and 50's as a result of noise exposure in their earlier years, medically related causes, or genetic predisposition. Age really doesn't matter. What matters are that if you do have a hearing loss you do something about it.

Thank you,
