So you survived the holidays this year, but have told yourself 2013 is going to be the year
So you survived the holidays this year, but have told yourself 2013 is going to be the year that you get help in improving your hearing. Well, you are certainly not alone. Most people find the holidays a frustrating time because of the missed laughter of the grandchildren, avoidance of social situations, having to ask people to constantly repeat themselves, and so much more. In fact, research shows that there are around 35 million people in the United States suffering from hearing loss symptoms (from some sources that number is millions higher) and the number is said to be slowly increasing. If you find yourself among the statistics, or are unsure either way, 2013 and the New Year may be a perfect time to make a resolution for better hearing and to finally look into the correct path for you. Not every hearing aid or hearing solution will work for you, so individualized advice from a trusted audiologist or doctor is
the best start. With hearing care today and the state of digital hearing aids, this will be a resolution sure to last for years to come and have a positive impact. Sergei Kochkin, an American hearing expert, has completed several studies associated with hearing impaired Americans and their use of hearing aids. His 2008 survey found that there are indeed around 35 million Americans dealing with hearing impairments, or roughly 11.3% of this U.S. population. However, it was found that more than 25 million of these people did not have a hearing aid. Just 28.5% of hearing impaired Americans has hearing aids. Since a 2005 survey, the number of hearing impaired people in this country increased from 31.5 million to 35 million, a 9% increase in a time period with just 4.5% population growth.
