According to national data, more than 8.2 million Canadians aged 40–79 have at least mild hearing loss in the high-frequency range — but 77% of them (over 6 million) aren’t aware of it.
While both men and women are affected, men are statistically more likely to have unperceived hearing loss.
The best way to know for sure? Schedule a hearing test — medical experts recommend it yearly for anyone over 50.
