ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology’s Post

In the EU, 34.4 million adults currently live with disabling #HearingLoss, and two out of three do not have access to adequate hearing care. As the population ages, these numbers are set to increase. Hearing loss not only affects communication but also has far-reaching impacts on mental health and overall quality of life.  Prioritizing hearing loss in health policy agendas will enable children and adults to receive early intervention, support treatment, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the EU's healthcare systems and society at large. hearX proudly supports the companies, healthcare providers, and regulators actively driving change to ensure access to hearing healthcare. Read the full manifesto here: https://lnkd.in/ethJMCBN Hearing Health Forum EU Tuned

The UN News article discusses the World Health Organization's (WHO) initiatives to address global hearing loss. Approximately 400 million individuals need hearing aids, yet only 20% have access due to financial and social barriers. By 2050, over 2.5 billion people will have some hearing loss, with 700 million needing rehabilitation. World Health Organization emphasizes the need for investment and myth-busting, suggesting an investment of less than $1.40 per person per year could significantly improve services, with a $16 return for every dollar spent. WHO also addresses societal stigmas and introduces guidelines for task sharing to expand services, especially in low- and middle-income countries. #wehear #WHO #unitednations #safehearing #hearingmyths Article Link :   https://lnkd.in/dESF73_K
