“No matter what hearing or balance issues you face, this book will give you the tools and strategies to live well.”

An estimated 466 million people worldwide have severe hearing loss. By 2050, as the population ages, this number is expected to jump to 900 million—and this doesn’t include the many people living with mild hearing loss. Likewise, balance is an ongoing problem for many. Millions of people have an ongoing problem with balance or experience issues with dizziness every day.

Now in its third edition, Mayo Clinic on Hearing and Balance will help you understand what causes hearing loss and balance issues, how they can be prevented, and how you can manage and live well with them.

Within this informational guide, you’ll get the answers to many common questions about hearing and balance, including how hearing and balance are tested, ways you can protect your hearing, what you can do to improve your balance, how underlying causes of hearing loss are treated, ways to cope with hearing loss and balance issues, and how to select hearing aids and cochlear implants.

You’ll also find exercises to help you assess your balance and improve it. In addition, real-life perspectives from people successfully managing hearing loss and balance issues will inspire you to take steps toward achieving better hearing and balance.

No matter what hearing or balance issues you face, this book will give you the tools and strategies to live well.
