Shannon Schneller knows why most people don’t come in with mild hearing loss and wait until they have moderate hearing loss. “But moderate hearing loss responds very well if it's treated it's just so much easier if we can catch it mild to moderate than if the loss goes to severe hearing loss”.

She will tell us why you could lose more of your ability to discern speech the longer you wait and the hearing aid will be less effective once loss has gone on too long.

Today, we explore the Hearing Aide Experience, and if you think you’re too young, the fact is, untreated hearing loss can start as early as 35 years old.

This is season 22 episode 28 of America's Healthcare Advocate. I'm Cary Hall.
