We all hear differently - Maria O'Brien Audiology makes you hear better

Hearing loss affects an individual’s quality of life and ability to function independently. It is associated with increased risks of falls, hospitalisations, social isolation and impaired cognitive function (Ferrucci,2012).

In 2022, 5% of the Irish population reported experiencing deafness or a hearing impairment (CSO,2022).

Hearing loss impacts on social participation and engagement. Hearing loss is a modifiable risk and hearing aids have shown to improve quality of life, improve communication, reduce loneliness and cognitive function.
