Audífonos

Es inevitable que haya cierta pérdida de la audición al envejecer. Un estimado del 30% de todas las personas mayores de 65 años tienen problemas auditivos significativos. La pérdida conductiva de la audición ocurre cuando el sonido tiene problemas para pasar por los oídos externo y medio. La cirugía o un audífono pueden mejorar este tipo de pérdida auditiva.
