Hearing loss is a silent problem that often goes untreated for years. Recent studies have shown that adults with untreated hearing loss have significantly higher rates of developing psychosocial disorders such as depression, anxiety, and dementia and incur higher medical bills than those without hearing loss. Today’s hearing solutions include removable and implantable hearing aids such as advanced digital hearing aids and cochlear implants for those with severe hearing loss, respectively. A wide range of assistive listening devices (ALDs) is also available for various situations and listening environments. Patient expectations of hearing solutions vary depending on age, hearing loss magnitude, and first-time use.
