  • Approximately 17 percent (36 million) of American adults report some degree of hearing loss.
  • There is a strong relationship between age and reported hearing loss: 18 percent of American adults 45-64 years old, 30 percent of adults 65-74 years old, and 47 percent of adults 75 years old or older have a hearing loss.

  • Three out of 4 children experience ear infection (otitis media) by the time they are 3 years old.
  • Only 1 out of 5 people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wears one.
  • Approximately 188,000 people worldwide have received cochlear implants. In the United States, roughly 41,500 adults and 25,500 children have received them.
