Hearing Loss
Quick. Easy. No obligation.
Why Hearing Health Matters
Your ears are your second-most important sense—just behind your eyes. When your hearing begins to fade, it can affect everything from conversations with loved ones to your overall health and safety.
Hearing loss is often age-related, but it can also result from genetics, illness, or repeated exposure to loud noise. It usually comes on gradually, so it’s easy to miss—until it starts interfering with your daily life.
The good news:
Most hearing loss can be treated with hearing aids and professional care.
Degrees of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is measured in decibels (dB)—the louder a sound needs to be before you hear it, the more severe the loss.
Normal hearing
- No noticeable hearing issues
- Soft and loud sounds are heard clearly
Mild hearing loss
- Conversations in noisy spaces are difficult
- May miss soft speech or background details
Moderate hearing loss
- Conversations without a hearing aid are challenging
- Many everyday sounds go unheard
Severe hearing loss
- Group conversations require significant effort
- Lip-reading becomes a key tool
Profound hearing loss
- Little to no hearing without amplification
- Communication depends on hearing aids and/or sign language
