The World Report on Hearing was developed in collaboration with experts and stakeholders in the field of ear and hearing care who informed the report’s strategic direction and ensured that it reflects a range of cultural contexts and approaches to hearing care. The report is global in its reach while keeping a special focus on low- and middle-income countries, where the number of people with hearing loss is not matched by the availability of services and resources.
On the heels of new studies showing that treating hearing loss in older adults may slow down cognitive decline, Phonak, a global leader in providing life-changing hearing solutions, is pleased to announce ECHHO (Enhancing Cognitive Health via Hearing Optimization). This dedicated training program aims to empower hearing care professionals (HCPs) with the knowledge and tools to better integrate the cognitive health aspect into their discussions with clients. The ECHHO program, which will be rolled out in Fall 2023, includes comprehensive training for hearing care professionals.
