Hearing impairment is common; however, the impact is often neglected. The prevalence
of hearing impairment is increased with age, and it is the most common sensory
deficit in the elderly. Hearing impairment may bring significant impacts in daily
life, such as difficulties in communication, problems at work, and even emotional
issues, such as frustration and isolation. There are many etiologies of hearing
impairment. In some cases, hearing impairment could be improved by medicine or
surgery. Hearing aids may also be helpful in some cases. I suggest patients with
hearing impairment to consult their doctors for diagnosis and seek for appropriate
treatments.
