A member asked:

Wanted to know if all deaf people use hearing aids to some degree?

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Deaf & Hearing Aids: Greetings. Unfortunately not every person with hearing loss will benefit from hearing aids. Some people with profound hearing loss will not hear anything despite any hearing aid. A cochlear implant is sometimes an option. I hope this helps.
