Bridging the Hearing with the Hearing-Loss World

What is hearing loss? It is a reduced ability
to hear sounds, often caused by age, injury,
or illness. Noise exposure, a fall, depression,
and aging can contribute to hearing loss,
affecting people of all ages. Different hearing
loss ranges are found in infants, children,
adults, and senior citizens. While you may feel
annoyed or inconvenienced by other people’s
hearing loss, it is an ongoing quality-of-life
issue for the person whose hearing is diminished.

The information in this guide is intended to
bridge communication between those individuals
in hearing world and those who have
lost some or all their hearing. Improving interaction
between the hearing and the hearing
impaired brings immeasurable richness to the
lives of both and ripples out.
