Hearing loss affects millions of people worldwide, particularly older adults who can suffer age-related hearing loss (ARHL).

Hearing loss demands comprehensive understanding and professional care. It is more than a mere audiological condition; hearing loss is profoundly connected with cognition, communication, and emotional well-being.
