Abstract

Hearing impairment affects over 28 million people in the United States. It is one of the most common disabilities of the adult population. Although hearing loss becomes more common in the aging population, it can also affect younger adults as a result of environmental exposures. Hearing loss is associated with decreased quality of life and can lead to, in severe cases, cognitive decline and depression [1, 2].
