The State of Hearing Today
Even today more than 3.6 million people around the world suffer from hearing loss. In Australia alone, one in six Australians suffer from some form of hearing loss and that number is expected to rise to one in four by the year 2050. With such a large number of Australians suffering from hearing loss, a majority of those who could live better lives with hearing aids will never actually use one due to affordability or lack of access and information.
And it’s just not our older generations suffering from hearing loss. A recent study found that more than 1.5 million Australians suffering from hearing loss were of working age. An even more staggering statistic is that those with hearing problems suffer greater unemployment rates, making the affordability of hearing aids and other devices pretty much impossible.
