Hearing Loss in Seniors

More than 30 percent of Americans over the age of 60 have age-related hearing loss. In fact, after high blood pressure and arthritis, hearing loss is the most common chronic condition affecting senior health.
  • Do you have a problem hearing on the telephone?
  • Do you have to strain to understand a conversation?
  • Do you have problems understanding the speech of women and children?
  • Do you hear a ringing, roaring or hissing sound a lot?
  • Do you receive comments from others regarding your hearing difficulties?
If you answered "yes” to any of the above questions, you may have a hearing problem.  Please visit Lexington Hearing and Speech Center to learn more.  If you are feeling isolated or overwhelmed, please visit the Lexington Mental Health Center for support.
