While we commonly think of hearing loss as a problem related to the aging, you might be surprised to know that 2-3 children out of 100 will be born with detectable hearing loss. More surprisingly, 1 in 6 children between the ages 6 and 19 show evidence of hearing loss from noise exposure. This number rises to 1 in 5 between people ages 20 and 69. More than half of adults 70 or older suffer from hearing impairment. Hearing loss has been found to have a profound impact on brain health, with even mild loss carrying a 90 percent increased risk for early-onset dementia. Hearing testing and treatment is available for patients of all ages here in our Frisco.
