“We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore.”

This is the rallying cry from baby boomers all over the country that ruined their hearing going to concerts and listening to loud music.

Millions of baby boomers are experiencing the foibles of their youth and suffering the consequences.

“My average patient used to be in their late seventies,” said Dr. Ronna Fisher, AuD. Of Hearing Health Center.  “Today my average patient is in their early sixties.”  Fifty percent of people over the age of sixty have a significant hearing deficit that interferes with their everyday life.

Yet, at the same time, some of these baby boomers still perceive hearing problems as an old person’s issue.  “They still think, “hearing = old,” and refuse to recognize and admit they have difficulty hearing and understanding,” said Dr. Fisher.

“Hearing loss runs in my family,” proclaimed Dr. Fisher, who has been wearing hearing aids since she was fifty. “At first, I used to think, ‘I’m too young to wear hearing aids. Then I realized, I’m too young not to wear hearing aids.”

Baby boomers are all about living longer, being more active and communicating their vast knowledge…to their employees, to their children, and anyone else willing to listen to their wisdom.

Astute baby boomers understand that communicating is a two-way street.  making the rest of their lives the best of their lives.  And they’re realizing that it’s all about communicating.
