HEARING HEALTH
How Can You Tell If You Have Hearing Loss
Hearing Loss is an invisible disability and affects people of all ages.
It is often left untreated until it has negatively impacted the lives of the hard-of-hearing and everyone around them. Approximately 3 million Canadians suffer from hearing loss.

What To Do About Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is more common than you might think. Hearing loss typically happens so slowly and gradually over a period of years. You can gradually get used to asking others to repeat themselves, to straining to hear in restaurants, family gatherings or business meetings, to turning the TV volume up so high (movies and TV programs can become harder to follow) that nobody else can stay in the room. But you can do better. You can be missing out on conversations and connection. People can sound muffled, like they’re talking through a towel.
The good news? Most hearing loss is treatable. There’s no reason to tough it out or to feel left out when you could be getting more from life.
Why live with hearing loss? When you cannot participate in conversations, it frustrates you and your loved ones. Some people become so self-conscious or frustrated by their hearing loss that they stop doing what they love, like playing sports or going to the symphony or even to family gatherings.
How many people suffer from hearing loss?
More than half of Canadians (54%) between the ages of 40 and 79 have at least a mild hearing loss, but 77% of them do not know it, according to a study by Statistics Canada.
Noise, diabetes or other factors can cause hearing loss. But most often it’s simply a result of getting older.
