About this event
Estimates are that 25% of us will experience hearing loss in our 60s, more than 50% in our 70s, and 80% in our 80s. Hearing loss can have significant effects on daily functioning and relationships, but because the progression is gradual, many are not aware of the changes, and often wait years to seek help. Join us for a session with representatives from the University of Maryland Hearing and Speech Clinic to understand the changes that occur with age-related hearing loss, the signs that it's time to seek help, what to expect at a hearing assessment, and to get information on hearing aids and other resources for improving hearing functioning and communication.
Host: Village of Takoma Park
