No, you are wrong. The statement you make is true, but the implication is utterly false. You're selling this fiction that deafness is just an "old persons" thing.
Among adults aged 20-69, the overall annual prevalence of hearing loss dropped slightly from 16 percent (28.0 million) in the 1999-2004 period to 14 percent (27.7 million) in the 2011–2012 period.
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (see https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/statistics/quick-statistics...)...
