Hearing loss is the loss of hearing in one or both ears, ranging from mild to profound. There are many causes, and it can affect anyone at any age, but it's most common among people older than 60.
How common is it? Statistics show that about 16% of U.S. adults have hearing loss, and it's twice as common as diabetes or cancer. About one out of 5 men and one out of 8 women report they have at least some trouble hearing.

But in general, people who have hearing loss may experience any or all of the following:

• Difficulty understanding everyday conversation
• A feeling of being able to hear but not understand
• Having to turn up the TV or radio
• Asking others to repeat often
• You no longer hear birdsong, or hear it rarely
• Avoidance of social situations that were once enjoyable
• A sense of exhaustion after a day of listening to other people
• Increased difficulty communicating in noisy situations like restaurants, lively family gatherings, in the car or in group meetings
• Tinnitus, or ringing and/or buzzing sounds in the ears

Our factory produces Hearing Aids to allow hearing-impaired people to hear normal sounds. Life is bleak if the voice cannot be heard.

A Hearing Aid is a device designed to improve hearing by making sound audible to a person with hearing loss.
