Hearing is one of our most important and yet often one of our most uncared for senses. One in seven adults in the UK have some degree of hearing loss problems and more than half of the population over the age of 60 are unable to hear speech in noisy settings (Ref: http://www.rnid.org.uk/).
In most, but not all, cases hearing loss problems develop over a period of time and sometimes it can take years for people to realise that they have a problem. Depending on the type of loss, modern hearing aids can make a huge difference, making it possible to communicate with less stress and take a full part in everyday life.
Our guide will help you to understand the causes of hearing loss and how it can be treated.
