Did you know that more than 800 million people are affected by hearing loss? Many are unwilling to admit they deal with this issue and find it difficult to talk about it openly.
You can help us open the discussion about the issue of hearing loss and the importance of hearing. Tell us your story and share your experiences with us, whether they’re positive or negative:

• What is your experience with hearing loss?
• Are you affected by hearing loss or do you have friends or family
  who are affected by it?
  
  

Many people have problems understanding what other people are saying in situations where there is a lot of background noise, such as in restaurants, on a train or at a party. Hearing impairments are not unusual, and in most cases can be readily corrected. A hearing screening by an audiologist can diagnose problem. Help us show everyone affected by hearing loss that they can get back the quality of life they have lost because of impaired hearing.
Share your tips and experiences relating to hearing aids, or just talk to other people who are also affected – and to those who are not, but may know someone who is.
