About one-half (53%) of baby boomers said they have at least a “mild”hearing loss. This is consistent with the findings from the 2004 study (49%). It appears that boomers, generally speaking, are willing to admit to having a hearing loss. When looking just as those boomers that said they do NOT have a hearing loss, only 18% said they sometimes or frequently find themselves in situations where people are not speaking loudly enough or clearly enough or where the television is not loud enough or clear enough.
