Last week I wrote about vision issues. It seems fair to give hearing issues their fair share of time. The statistics for hearing issues are interesting. About 17 percent of the adult population (36 million people) have some hearing loss. For the age group 65 - 74 years, about 1/3 have hearing loss. After age of 75, the number increases to 1/2 the population. That makes it one of the most prevalent chronic health conditions in older adults.
