S1. Ep13. Managing Age-Related Hearing Loss and Realistic Expectations Regarding Hearing Aids with Audiologist Mitchell Quine

Did you know that over 50% of Australians aged 61-70 experience some form of hearing loss? This number increases to 74% for those aged 71 and over. If you or a loved one are experiencing hearing loss, it’s essential to manage it properly. In this episode, audiologist Mitchell Quine joins us to discuss all things related to age-related hearing loss. Mitchell completed a Master of Clinical Audiology from Macquarie University, Sydney and is the owner of two Specsavers Audiology stores in north Brisbane.

During this discussion, Mitchell will answer questions such as: Who is a candidate for hearing issues in the over 50-100 age group? What can be done about hearing loss, including new technologies in hearing aids? How can we convince someone that it's time to see an audiologist? What do "hearing" people need to do to support those with hearing problems?
