Tympahealth Celebrates World Hearing Day with a Call to Action for Ear and Hearing Health:
Don’t Wait, Hear Clear.
As the world prepares to mark World Hearing Day on March 3rd ,2024 TympaHealth stands at the forefront of advocating for global hearing health, awareness, and accessibility.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) over 5% of the world’s population – 450 million people require rehabilitation to address their disabling hearing loss (including 34 million children).
In the UK 1 in 5 people are affected by ear and hearing health conditions, often falling to realise that they miss out on certain words and sounds.
Commonly seen as a sign of ageing, research shows that a social stigma remains prevalent, with people still waiting long periods of time before they get a hearing health assessment – often between seven and ten years.
But many factors can also affect ear and hearing health amongst younger demographics, including infections, wax build up, unsafe listening practices, amongst many others. As witnessed by the TympaHealth UK community of practitioners, both young and mature people suffer, and wait for long periods of time before getting their ear health checked.
World Hearing Day (Sunday 3rd March), designated by the World Health Organization, serves as an annual reminder of the importance of hearing health and the need for early identification and intervention for hearing loss. This year’s theme, Together: Let’s make ear and hearing care a reality for all! resonates deeply with the TympaHealth vision, to eliminate preventable hearing loss, so everyone can actively engage in life. It is for this reason that TympaHealth are proclaiming – Don’t Wait, Hear Clear!
Ear and Hearing assessments can help identify any potential issues people may have related to their hearing. Early detection can help considerably with issues that, if left untreated, can severely impact quality of life.
TympaHealth is a leading provider of innovative hearing healthcare technology and reaffirm its commitment to improving access to quality hearing care services worldwide.
