How Common is Hearing Loss?
Hearing loss is more common than you might think. 1 in 6 Winnipeggers—that’s more than 130,000 people—will experience hearing loss in their lifetime. Even more concerning, studies show that 80% of people do nothing about it. Ignoring hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ability to hear, it can impact your relationships, brain health, and overall quality of life.
If you or a loved one suspects hearing changes, the best first step is a quick hearing test. Many people also find our guide on when hearing loss is permanent vs. treatable helpful. If ringing in the ears is a concern, explore our tinnitus resources.
Globally, the World Health Organization estimates that over 430 million people worldwide live with disabling hearing loss—a number expected to rise. The good news is that early intervention makes a big difference.
