Have You Heard?
Hearing Loss and Older Adults
An estimated 28 million Americans have hearing
loss. If you think you or a loved is among them,
there is help. This May, and every May since 1927,
the American Speech-Language-Hearing Associa-
tion (ASHA) has used the May is Better Hearing and
Speech Month (BHSM) celebration as a time to
encourage Americans to get their hearing tested and
determine if they have a hearing loss.
Accurate estimates of hearing loss are very
difficult to obtain. There are two main reasons for
this. First, most of the research information available
relies on self-reports and the inconsistent use of
terms and definitions. Second, it is common for
people to deny their hearing loss and/or not realize
the extent of their hearing impairment. For example,
many hard of hearing people have adapted well to
their hearing loss and hearing aids and may not
report any hearing difficulties, therefore excluding
themselves from national estimates.
With these limitations in mind, research sug-
gests one in every ten Americans has hearing loss. living. On the other hand, we may all have trouble
