01 Hearing Loss & Public Health

Hearing Matters

Hearing loss isn’t just an inconvenience that comes with getting older—it’s a critical public health issue that is now the focus of national and international initiatives. This global attention to hearing loss is the result of our growing understanding of the impact that hearing loss (present in nearly two-thirds of older adults) can have on the risk of dementia, cognitive decline, greater health care costs and other adverse outcomes.

02 What we do at the Coclear Center to Address this Public Health Challenge

Leading the way in Public Health Hearing Loss Research

The Johns Hopkins Center for Hearing and Public Health is the only global research institution focused exclusively on issues related to hearing loss and public health in older adults. Our researchers are interested in understanding the impact of hearing loss on public health, crafting and testing solutions and supporting and working to advance medical, public health and governmental understanding of these issues all around the world.

04 Hearing & Aging Part 2

What Happens to Hearing as We Get Older ?
