Q: Do I Need a Hearing Aid Despite Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss?

A: The Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) recommends that a person has a hearing aid even when his/her hearing loss is mild so that the sounds produced within the 40 to 60 decibel range would not seem to be stunted. These kinds of sounds tend to be the low roar of the wheels on the tarmac or the noise of equipment such as the refrigerator.
