WHO SHOULD CONSIDER GETTING A HEARING AID?
A person of any age, from infant to adult, might need a hearing aid. In general, hearing aids help people who have a communication difficulty. Some have difficulty hearing clearly. Others have difficulty hearing when there is background noise. Some people just need to have the volume turned up – sort of like turning up the volume on a TV. Have your spouse or friends commented on how loud you turn up the TV or radio? They often notice before you do because a hearing loss can creep up on you over years or decades. People who need hearing aids often have noticed difficulty hearing or communicating at parties, in restaurants, crowds or theaters. Others have difficulty understanding children or female voices or people with accents.
