Hearing Loss by The Numbers

28.6 million Americans are hearing-impaired, which corresponds to 10.3% of the American population.

Only 22.2 percent of hearing-impaired Americans actually use hearing aids, which corresponds to 6.3 million hearing aid users.

One in ten people hear so poorly that he or she could benefit from hearing aid use.

Approximately half of all hearing-impaired people are of working age.

Early signs of hearing loss are generally first noticed between the ages of 40 and 60.

In the 60 and over age group, every third person suffers from hearing loss.

In the age group of 80 and over, the incidence of hearing impairment is greater than 50%.
