2 Hearing Loss The Invisible Disability: Things to know about hearing loss Where to find services to help
3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION What do you know about people with hearing loss? How do any personal perceptions of hearing loss impact service provision for people who have hearing loss?
4 Common Misperceptions about People with Hearing Loss All people with hearing loss can speech read. All people with hearing loss use sign language. People with hearing loss are stubborn, uncooperative, demanding, negative, or unfriendly. Problems related to hearing are limited solely to the physical. People with hearing loss cannot use the phone or drive.
5 Information Service Professionals Need An estimated 54 million people in the US have some degree of hearing loss that affects communication. As of 2014, over 1.2 million or 16% of the adults in North Carolina had some degree of hearing loss; it is projected rise to 1.65 million by 2030 a 33% increase. Over 1/3 of people age 65 and older have hearing loss. The effects of hearing loss often have a greater impact than most believe; many go undetected
6 Information Service Professionals Need Hearing loss is the 3rd most chronic health condition in older adults. Hearing loss impacts both the physical and the mental well-being. Studies now link hearing loss to: Diabetes Dementia / Alzheimer s Disease Falls Increased Hospitalizations Cognitive Impact
7 PLEASE REMEMBER!! Often invisible, denied, and overlooked untreated hearing loss, for some, can become a matter of LIFE OR DEATH.
8 Impact on Our Veterans U.S. Department of Defense Hearing problems loss and tinnitus, which is a ringing, buzzing or other type of noise that originates in the head, are by far the most prevalent serviceconnected disability among American Veterans. Governor McCrory s Executive Order 49 (4/17/14) establishing this working group identified many wellness issues but did not include hearing loss despite the fact it is the most common combatrelated disability among returning Veterans.
9 Impact on Our Veterans U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Research and Development identified 933,000 Veterans receive compensation for hearing loss. Additionally, 1.3 million Veterans receive compensation for tinnitus.
10 Impact on Our Veterans Based on 2014 statistics, DSDHH estimates NC has: 736,000 veterans. 121,569 of them have some form of hearing loss 17%. Expected to rise to 161,636 by % increase.
11 Impact on Our Veterans ECONOMIC IMPACT-- In 2014, untreated hearing loss in NC resulted in the loss of more than 174,000 jobs, and more than 17,000 of those jobs were among Veterans. Unemployment rate among Veterans was 14%, twice that among all persons with untreated hearing loss. Total picture: Loss of jobs, sales, and property taxes revenues among Veterans with untreated hearing loss equals $1.2 billion.
12 DSDHH Services Advocacy for Communication Accessibility Information and Referral Counseling Consultation Outreach and Training Equipment Distribution for eligible individuals Provision of 1 hearing aid for telephone use effectiveness. Amplified telephones, alerting devices, and emergency weather radios.
13 Seven Regional Centers Serving All 100 Counties of NC Asheville Morganton Greensboro Wilson Raleigh Charlotte Wilmington
