The Impact of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is a prevalent issue affecting approximately 1.5 billion people globally, leading to emotional isolation and communication challenges. This common disability can significantly impair one’s quality of life, as individuals often feel cut off from social interactions and relationships. The distinction between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss is crucial, with the latter presenting more challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Despite the availability of hearing aids and cochlear implants for various levels of hearing impairment, a lack of curative biological therapies persists, highlighting an urgent need for advancements in the field.
