Were You Talking To Me?

As much as they might not want to admit it, we all know someone who would benefit from hearing aids. 

Affecting just under 50 million Americans, hearing loss is an extremely common issue. That's the same as one-third of all Americans who wear glasses! Nearly two-thirds of those over 70 years old are hearing impaired, and hearing loss is expected to grow 7% over the next decade alone, yet only 1 in 5 people who would benefit from a hearing aid actually uses one. 

Unfortunately social stigmas, expensive device costs and inaccessibility to audiologists deter patients and ultimately decreases quality of living. 

Stigma- hearing impairment is unfortunately seen as a weakness and symptom of old age. Social insecurities decrease willingness to accept hearing loss help.

Costs- averaging $4,000 per pair, hearing aid devices are a serious financial commitment and it’s uncommon for it to be covered by insurance, pricing nearly 40% of patients out of the market.

Accessibility- outside of urban areas Audiologists can be far away and difficult to schedule. America is also facing an audiologist shortage driving demand and increasing inaccessibility.
