Hearing loss and other complications are prevalent among U.S. military veterans. Audiologist Dr. Tom Tedeschi shares why it's such a big issue and how vets should properly care for their ears.
Utah-based Tedeschi, who is also a Vietnam-era Army veteran, shared with Fox News Digital how prevalent hearing loss and complications are among the veteran community. "There are more people now under the age of 50 with hearing loss than over the age of 50." "We're seeing more and more individuals with untreated hearing loss who have faster decline in their cognitive function." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
About 60% of Vietnam veterans and 50% of Gulf War veterans suffer from hearing loss, according to the expert.
