DESCRIPTION:Hearing loss affects about 10% of the adult population in the 
 UK and many people over the age of 70 years have a hearing loss sufficient
  for them to require hearing aids. Yet\, many people try hearing aids and 
 decide that the benefit is not worth the bother\; the hearing aids end up 
 sitting in a drawer. In this talk I will describe what goes wrong when a p
 erson has a hearing loss and I will describe what hearing aids can and can
 not do to compensate for the perceptual problems caused by hearing loss. A
 venues for improvement will also be described.
