Adult Deafness in Europe 2016

Adult Deafness in Europe 2016

Influencing hearing health care decisions and access to today’s hearing technologies for adults: a European strategy

Launch of our new European Report

The impact of hearing loss in adulthood is often underestimated and therefore underfunded. Yet today we have exciting hearing technologies which can transform lives. However, in many countries, with increasing ageing populations and associated health costs, access to the hearing technologies may be denied, or the long-term management not provided. Yet addressing hearing loss early leads to better health outcomes. Now is the time to spend on hearing care to save on health care.

This conference addresses the impact of adult hearing loss, the real costs of adult hearing loss to Europe, and how by increasing access to today’s technology across Europe we change lives and save money.

Bringing leading experts from across Europe together to address hearing loss in today’s world. Our new report, ‘Spend to Save’, will be launched at the conference, bringing together the latest European research and practice in an accessible format.

Speakers include:

Helene Amieva, Sue Archbold, Lidia Best, Shelly Chadha, Adrian Davis, Laurence Hart-mann, Peter Helmhout, Soren Hougaard, Wendy Huinck, Brian Lamb, Mark Laureyns, Ciaran O’Neill, Leo De Raeve, Krishan Ramdoo, Chris Wood
