It’s easy to take hearing for granted — until conversations start to feel a little harder to follow or loved ones seem to mumble. A new national study confirms what many of us have noticed in our clinics: Oklahoma has one of the highest rates of hearing loss in the nation.
I teamed up with fellow Oklahoma audiologist Dr. Calyn Russ-Whitt from Hearing Health Care in Shawnee to write a blog on HearingLoss.com to share what the data shows, why rural communities are especially impacted, and how certified hearing care can help Oklahomans stay connected, confident, and hearing their best.
