HEARING OVERVIEW
HEARING LOSS CONCERNS
Hearing loss is a significant public health issue in Canada, affecting approximately 1 in 5 Canadians, with rates rising among the aging population. The prevalence of hearing impairment exacerbates the challenges faced by individuals in communication, leading to social isolation and a decline in overall quality of life. Access to early detection and intervention services is critical, yet barriers remain, including geographic disparities and limited resources in rural areas. Government initiatives and advocacy efforts are vital to enhance awareness, provide support, and improve access to audiological care, ultimately aiming to foster better health outcomes for individuals experiencing hearing loss across the nation.
