Prevalence of hearing loss

In the USA, a survey of 80,000 people called the MarkeTrak survey (2004) estimated that 10% of the population has hearing loss. 

A recent study in Australia suggested that 1 in 6 people have hearing problems.

So if you have hearing difficulties, you’re not alone. 

Here are some general guidelines regarding the incidence of hearing loss:

• 3 in 10 people over age 60 have hearing loss
• 1 in 6 baby boomers (ages 41 - 59), or 14.6%, have a hearing problem
• 1 in 14 Generation X (ages 29 - 40), or 7.4%, already have hearing loss
• It is estimated that 3 in 1000 infants are born with hearing loss.
