The Hearing Healthcare Model: A Team-Based Approach

This year's World Hearing Day theme was "Ear and Hearing Care for All. Let's Make It A Reality." World Hearing Day 2023 highlighted the importance of integrating ear and hearing care within primary care.

Our World Hearing Day Guests:

- Dr. Abram Bailey and Dr. Steve Taddei | HearingTracker
- Dr. Douglas L. Beck Au.D.| Cognivue, Inc.
- Dr. Mark Campbell-Foster | Redux
- Gael Hannan and Shari Eberts | Hear & Beyond
- Dr. Dave Fabry | Starkey Hearing
Dr. Amit Gosalia, AuD, FNAP | AudBoss

In this episode, we discuss:

1. How primary care physicians play an integral role in the hearing healthcare industry.

2. The importance of getting your hearing checked.

3. The comorbidities linked to untreated hearing loss.

4. What companies and providers are doing to create greater access and affordability to hearing healthcare.

With this theme, the communication objectives were to:

• Draw attention of decision makers in governments and civil society groups towards the WHO’s recommendations regarding integration of ear and hearing care into PHC.
• Encourage governments to integrate primary ear and hearing care into training programmes for health care providers at primary level.
• Call attention of primary level health care providers (health workers and physicians) towards the needs of people with hearing loss and ear disease.
• Inform people about the importance of ear and hearing care and encourage them to seek services.
