 For some people, hearing aids are no longer enough. 

90% of adults with hearing loss who could benefit from cochlear implants don’t have one
If hearing loss is not addressed by middle age, there is a higher risk of dementia 
Nearly 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 is affected by hearing loss

With hearing aids on, do you find it difficult to hear…
