Hearing loss is the third most-common chronic health condition in the United States, affecting 1 out of every 10 people. That's a conservative estimate, as many people needlessly avoid seeking help and may not be included.
By age, Americans with hearing loss include:
>> 1 out of every 25 children
>> 1 out of every 14 adults aged 18 to 44
>> 1 out of ever 7 adults aged 45 to 65
>> 1 out of every 3 adults over age 65
