 1.
What chance do I have of being truly hearing-impaired?
The
odds are that you or someone close to you has some degree of
hearing impairment. In fact, it has been estimated that 20 million
Americans suffer from some form of hearing impairment. |
2.
If I suffered from hearing impairment, I'd would certainly be
aware of it?
Not necessarily, often an impairment develops subtly and slowly.
We build in defenses that may make it difficult for us to determine
if we do or do not. A simple hearing test is really the answer. |
3.
If someone is hearing impaired, that just means that the sounds
aren't loud enough?
 That's
just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe that person has trouble hearing
in group situations or perhaps they don't always understand
exactly what is being said. Many times words just sound mumbled.
These are just a few of the various symptoms. |
