Hearing aids dramatically improve a person's social engagement and reduce feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Nearly 30 million U.S. adults could benefit from hearing aids, but only 16% of those who need them actually use them.

Hearing aid users also felt less socially handicapped by their hearing loss, researchers say.
