Myth #1 - Hearing loss affects only "old people" and is merely a sign of aging.

Only 35% of people with hearing loss are older than age 64. There are close to six million people in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 44 with hearing loss, and more than one million are school age. Hearing loss affects all age groups.

Myth #2 Your hearing loss cannot be helped

In the past, many people with hearing loss in one ear, with a high frequency hearing loss, or with nerve damage have all been told they cannot be helped, often by their family practice physician. This might have been true many years ago, but with modern advances in technology, nearly 95% of people with a sensorineural hearing loss can be helped with hearing aids.

According to a 2004 MarkeTrak survey, an estimated 31.5 million people in the U.S. suffer from hearing loss. Many are unaware they could benefit from hearing aids. At Audiology Associates of Arlington we are committed to educating you about hearing aid technology and providing you with the most appropriate device for your hearing loss and listening needs. We are here to dispel the myths and empower you with information and better hearing.
