While hearing is a top priority for 70% of consumers aged 18-55, many aren't taking proactive steps to manage their hearing health or recognize potential symptoms of hearing loss. 👂 Key insights from the "Hearing Health & Loss Prevention" study: 👉 Despite 85% feeling no need to discuss hearing with a healthcare provider, over 1 in 5 have experienced signs of hearing loss like ringing in the ears (23%) or difficulty hearing (22%). 👉 71% didn't know about the link between hearing loss and conditions like dementia, but 49% reconsidered after learning this information. 👉 Only 56% would seek professional help if they noticed worsening hearing, or if a hearing check were free (43%). #hearinghealth #hearingloss #audiology Synchrony CareCredit Stephanie Czuhajewski Becky Lansen Alberto (Beto) Casellas https://lnkd.in/gf9pafZg

2moHearing is a critical sense we need for learning and interacting making a big difference in how we grow, develop and make our lives better. Great study bringing to light the need to care for hearing like any other common health assessment. As a father with hearing impaired boys I can attest to this need and the extra attention given early on makes an incredible difference in their development growing up. Studies like this need to be taken seriously, many insurance plans do a poor job at hearing coverage, hearing aids are not "necessary". We need more studies like this to show otherwise demonstrating early diagnosis and help prevent bigger and more costly conditions later in live.
