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).
5% of the Irish population reported experiencing deafness or a hearing impairment (CSO,2022) and research has shown people wait up to ten years before seeking intervention.
Hearing loss is a modifiable risk and hearing aids have shown to improve quality of life, improve communication, reduce loneliness and cognitive function. Maria fits the most up to date hearing aids by real ear measurements which is the gold standard of hearing aid verification.
