If you struggle to hear, then you may already be familiar with hearing aids and their benefit to you and your quality of life as one of the millions of people in America who suffer from hearing loss. However, there are many different types of hearing aids in the modern market that have been developed to suit you and your lifestyle.

If you suffer from hearing loss then one of these three types of hearing aids may suit your lifestyle and make your quality of life much better when you’ll be able to hear clearly again once you find one that works best for you. An astounding 20% of the population (which is more than 48 million people) suffers from hearing loss, so you are not alone. Furthermore, if you are 65 or above, then you may be the 1 in 3 people who suffer from hearing loss. And in addition to that, 50 million people suffer from tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Unfortunately, about 2 to 3 of every 1,000 babies in the U.S. are born with hearing loss in at least one of their ears. Lastly, there are about 30 million Americans who work in environments that have unsafe noise levels.
