Act on Hearing Loss and You're Likely to Live a Happier Life, According to a Recent Survey

SOMERSET, N.J., March 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In celebration of World Hearing Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) champions the message "To hear for life, listen with care." This focuses on the importance of safe listening as a means of maintaining good hearing over the course of life. Audika Group's HearingLife, the leader in delivering personalized hearing care, unveiled data from a recent survey the company commissioned with YouGov that further reiterates the importance of hearing care.

The survey shows that for people with hearing loss, hearing aid wearers are three times more likely to be happier than those without hearing aids and one in five people see a life-changing difference.* In addition to life-changing effects, the study found that mental health levels dramatically improve for those who refuse to live with untreated hearing loss.*

As pioneers in the personalized hearing care space, HearingLife understands how critically important early detection and treatment can be and is urging everyone to prioritize hearing health as they would any other routine checkup. The survey of over 24,000 people in 14 countries found that while one in three people will plan an eye test in 2022, just one in 10 people intend on scheduling a hearing test.*

"We must take our hearing care more seriously. At HearingLife, we want people to know that there are free and accessible ways to stay more in control of hearing health," says Dr. Leslie Soiles, Chief Audiologist with HearingLife. "Taking a free hearing test and wearing hearing aids can help someone with hearing loss listen better, feel more connected and improve quality of life. Our five-minute online hearing test can provide an immediate insight into how well you hear and help you get started."

In celebration of World Hearing Day, HearingLife is encouraging all to take a free online hearing test at https://www.hearinglife.com/online-hearing-test for immediate insight into your hearing status. In addition to the online test and regular hearing assessments, there are plenty of proactive steps one can take to help reduce the risk of hearing loss.

"We need to be kinder to our ears to reduce the risk of hearing loss," says Dr. Soiles. "Turn your headphones down, wear ear protection in noisy environments and get tested from an earlier age. For those with hearing loss, HearingLife's experts can help you gain back what you may have lost."

With over 640 locations across the United States and more than 3,000 affiliated locations worldwide, HearingLife is accepting new patients and offering complimentary hearing assessments to all. When you get a hearing assessment, you are helping others.
