The Better Hearing Institute recently collaborated with the ATA to do the largest survey to date of just how big a problem Tinnitus is in the US. Some of the interested facts we noticed are listed below.
- 13 million people report they have tinnitus but not hearing loss. However, it is widely acknowledged that people with tinnitus almost always have hearing loss. Therefore, it is likely that the hearing loss population is conceivably higher than previously reported.
- The size of the tinnitus population in the United States is nearly 30 million people—or about 10%.
- Subjects who had their hearing aids fit by professionals using comprehensive hearing aid fitting protocols are nearly twice as likely to experience tinnitus relief than respondents fit by hearing care professionals using minimalist hearing aid fitting protocols.
The last statistic is very important to us and is something we pride ourselves on. We take pleasure in hiring and training the most knowledgable Physicians and Doctors of Audiology possible so that you receive the best medical care and treatments options available. Our Audiologists fit state of the art hearing aids using the most comprehensive fitting protocols to ensure we are meeting your hearing needs.To check out the complete survey visit http://www.ata.org/blog-BHI
