One of the most common problems that older adults have is hearing loss and the inability to hear conversations clearly in a group setting especially when there is a lot of background noise even when they are wearing their hearing aids

So we asked Brian Taylor, AuD, the senior director of audiology for Signia to come on Specially for Seniors to talk about the problem and the solution.Brian is the editor of Audiology Practices, a quarterly publication of the Academy of Doctors of Audiology, and an adjunct instructor at the University of Wisconsin.

Dr. Taylor has been an American Academy of Audiology member since 1991.

Brian and I discuss the social implications of hearing loss, diagnosis and tyes of hearing loss and a new type of hearing aid by Signia.
