As we engage with audiologists to demonstrate practice management software, we inevitably gain valuable insights into the world of hearing. In honor of World Hearing Day on March 3rd, allow us to share some enlightening information.
On World Hearing Day 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) will focus on overcoming the challenges posed by societal misperceptions and stigmatizing mindsets through awareness-raising and information-sharing targeted at the public and healthcare providers, with the following key messages:
- Globally, over 80% of ear and hearing care needs remain unmet.
- Unaddressed hearing loss poses an annual cost of nearly $1 trillion globally.
- Deeply ingrained societal misperceptions and stigmatizing mindsets are key factors that limit efforts for preventing and addressing hearing loss.
- Changing mindsets related to ear and hearing care is crucial to improving access and mitigating the cost of unaddressed hearing loss.
If you are an audiologist who struggles to track all of your ear molds, hearing aids, and accessories, I’d be happy to show you how TIMS can be your practice management solution.
