1 in 10 people worldwide suffer from hearing loss
Hearing loss is one of the world’s most common health problems. It is also one of the most ignored problems, and this is unfortunate because hearing loss and its psychological side effects are highly
treatable.
Hearing loss is not like listening to sounds with the volume turned down. Instead, you may notice that certain spoken sounds — like sh, th and f — are more difficult to hear than others. That’s why people with hearing loss often say they can hear people talking but can’t understand what is being said.
