Hearing loss prevalence in the aging population: updated population-based audiometric data from the Rotterdam study
This study highlights the need to address age-related hearing loss as a growing public health challenge. With ongoing population ageing, the demand for hearing rehabilitation, including cochlear implants, is expected to rise. Timely identification, referral, and innovative care models are essential to meet the increasing needs of older adults with hearing loss.
