Despite all the benefits of hearing aids<\/a> \u2013 like better communication, improved quality of life and lower risk of physical and mental health problems \u2013 many people who could benefit don\u2019t wear them. In fact, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders<\/a>, \u201cAmong adults aged 70 and older with hearing loss who could benefit from hearing aids, fewer than one in three (30 percent) has ever used them. Even fewer adults aged 20 to 69 (approximately 16 percent) who could benefit from wearing hearing aids have ever used them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re one of the people who could benefit from hearing aids but haven\u2019t made the investment, consider the sounds you might be missing. We review some of them below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
