Bio
He is passionate about increasing the profile and impact of audiology. We live in a communication era yet hearing loss is a significant barrier to easy communication. Hearing loss impacts on all aspects of family life, employment, and prevents enjoyment of leisure activities. It is associated with reduced quality of life, depression and anxiety, poor social interactions and increased risk of dementia. Moreover, the harms to society are worsening: 11m UK adults currently live with hearing loss but this will increase to 15.6m by 2031.
According to the World Health Organisation, hearing loss is the number one global cause of years lived with a disability, yet it attracts less than 1% of UK health care expenditure and less than 1% of UK health research spend. The ‘Hearing Matters’ report by Action on Hearing Loss states that the research spend for every person affected by sight loss is £11.35 yet this is only £1.11 for hearing loss. Our national population survey revealed that the public perception of hearing loss prevalence and risk are largely inaccurate. In terms of charity funding, only one hearing loss charity (National Deaf Children’s Society) is represented in the top 100. It is clear that there is some way to go to persuade the public to back policies that will equalize the distribution of funds to hearing health care and research.
