Hearing impairment is any loss of hearing for a variety of reasons. It refers to a condition that causes someone not to hear as well as someone with normal hearing. It does not refer to the degree of hearing loss, the cause of hearing loss or the indication that someone should wear a hearing aid. Not all causes of hearing loss indicate the need for a hearing aid...some may be corrected medically. If you ask others to repeat, find yourself turning up the tv, missing out on the punchline of a joke, missing out on important meeting facts, you might be experiencing some degree of hearing impairment.
