  • About 2 percent of adults aged 45 to 54 have disabling hearing loss—the rate increases to 8.5 percent for adults aged 55 to 64. Nearly 25 percent of those aged 65 to 74 and 50 percent of 75 and older have disabling hearing loss.
  • About 28.8 million U.S. adults could benefit from using hearing aids.8
  • Among adults aged 70 and older with hearing loss who could benefit from hearing aids, fewer than one in three (30 percent) has ever used them. Even fewer adults aged 20 to 69 (approximately 16 percent) who could benefit from wearing hearing aids have ever used them.9
  • The investigators found that hearing loss was linked with an increased risk of depression in adults of all ages but was most pronounced in the respondents aged 18 to 69. Women had higher rates of depression than men did.
