Who is Affected?

“When someone in the family has a hearing loss, the entire family has a hearing problem."

Everyone you come in contact with is affected by a person’s hearing loss: family members, friends, co-workers, any communication partner even the clerk in the store, the server at the restaurant, the receptionist at the doctor’s office... everyone.
