One in six people in the UK lives with hearing loss, 6.7 million of whom could benefit from a hearing aid. However, only around two million people in the UK use them. Assistive hearing technologies have progressed significantly in recent years, transforming the lives of many people who previously lived with a more limited range of sound available to them.
Retired NHS nurse and hearing aid user Helen Cherry says: “Whilst many digital aids have benefitted me, nothing prior to my smart hearing aids has been able to compare to the quality of sounds and the ability to self-manage and personalise the device to my needs in different environments.
