Digital Audiometry: An Evolution in Hearing Care Accessibility and Patient-Centric Care

Hearing Services

Hearing loss can affect anyone. The 2021 World Report on Hearing, published by the World Health Organization (WHO), found there are over 1.5 billion people alive today that live with some level of hearing loss. Even more worrisome is that this figure is predicted to grow to an estimated 2.5 billion by 2050. This forecast is particularly heartbreaking because much of this hearing loss could be prevented by merely connecting people with the hearing care they require when it's needed.

We think the most promising pathway to boosting hearing care is through digital audiometry.
