If you are over age 65, get your hearing checked. Many people lose their hearing slowly as they age.

• One out of three (1 in 3) Americans between ages 65 and 74 has a hearing problem.
• Half of adults (1 in 2) over age 75 have a hearing problem.

If you have hearing loss, you are not alone. Start by asking your doctor for a hearing test. Your doctor may refer you to a hearing specialist.
