The awareness about the importance of hearing is becoming a key component in making sound health choices. Hearing loss currently affects more than 31.5 million 

Americans today: that is around 10% of the population. Although hearing problems are commonly associated with the normal aging process, more than half of all hearing-impaired persons are younger that 65. With the increased use of personal music players and earbuds, loud workplaces, and loud recreational equipment, the number of Americans experiencing hearing loss at a younger age is growing.
