A new study confirms that those 80 and older represent the highest percentage of hearing loss.  But researchers are starting to see a shift.

The study, published in February’s Archives of Otolaryngology, show that 1 in 9, or almost 11% of those aged 45-54, make up the fastest growing segment of our hearing impaired population.

Hometown Health spoke with Lake ENT Doctor of Audiology, Paige Holt.



Doctors do not typically screen middle aged adults for hearing loss so if you suspect a hearing impairment, take the initiative and get it checked out.

You’ll find contact information for the three Lake ENT audiology offices in The Villages, Leesburg and Tavares, at YourHometownHealth.com.
