The fight for good hearing health starts here

IT’S TIME TO ACT

Today, more than 1.5 billion people experience some degree of hearing loss, and by 2050, this number is expected to reach 2.5 billion. Currently, 5% of the global population—430 million people—require care and rehabilitation for hearing loss, which, if left untreated, could significantly impact their quality of life.

A growing number of individuals with hearing loss remain untreated or underserved, affecting both personal well-being and society as a whole. It’s time to act.

The good news is that some cases of hearing loss are preventable, while others can be managed through early diagnosis, proper care, and suitable hearing strategies. Most hearing care solutions come with minimal health risks and have a positive impact on communication and social engagement.

At LISTEN TO THIS™, we aim to highlight that addressing this underserved population presents a real opportunity to alleviate a major health burden and improve quality of life.

THE MOVEMENT

LISTEN TO THIS™ is a global initiative inviting healthcare partners, policy makers, patient organisations and more to drive a new hearing health movement.

Our mission is to raise greater awareness of hearing loss, promote better hearing care, and support continued research around hearing and cognition. Through evidence, collaboration, and innovation, our goal is to ensure hearing health is recognised as a critical factor in good cognitive health and overall wellbeing.
