Hearing is crucial to maintain connections with the world around us. It enables us to communicate with loved ones, with colleagues and participate fully in society. Hearing loss can be preventable and is treatable, but it is not prioritised in the same way as other health conditions.
Cochlear® commissioned this State of Hearing Report to support the World Health Organization’s goal to raise awareness of hearing loss, while helping to understand and transform the way people view hearing health and its association with older age across the world.
