Hearing loss is an incredibly common occurrence in adults, affecting over 48 million Americans alone. Although there is still a misconception that only older, retired people have hearing loss, many people who are still in the workforce have some degree of hearing loss that is affecting their day to day lives. In addition, employment of workers aged 65 or older has grown by 117% in a span of 20 years according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
