Hearing loss is sneaky. It typically happens so slowly and gradually that you may think it’s them, not you. Meanwhile, you can miss out on conversations and connection. People can sound muffled, like they’re talking through a towel. Movies, the news and TV programs can become harder to follow.

The good news? Most hearing loss is mild and treatable. There’s no reason to tough it out or to feel left out when you could be getting more from life.

Hearing loss is more common than you might think. It’s estimated that 48 million Americans experience hearing loss, including one in six baby boomers. Noise, diabetes or other factors can cause hearing loss. But most often it’s simply a result of getting older.

Of course, you can’t stop the clock. But you can treat hearing loss. With the right hearing treatment plan and hearing aid, you’ll be able to turn up the volume on everything. You can stop asking people to repeat themselves. You can turn down the TV so your next-door neighbors aren’t hearing it, too. With treatment, you’ll be able to participate in the activities you enjoy and live to the fullest again.

Hearing involves teamwork between your ears and your brain. Hearing begins when sound waves enter your outer ear (the part that’s visible on the outside of your head). The waves travel through your auditory canal, a tube-like passageway lined with tiny hairs and small glands that produce earwax to your middle ear.

The middle ear has three small bones, often referred to as the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup, and the eardrum. The middle ear has an important job: to amplify sound. If any of the middle ear’s parts get disrupted, significant hearing loss can result.
