Registration - EUHPP Live Webinar: Healthy Hearing for Healthy Ageing - Addressing Challenges of Hearing Loss in the EU (5 December 2024, 11.00 - 12.00 CET)

Hearing loss affects 34.4 million people in Europe, with severe implications for the ageing population. Often hidden and neglected, it leads to significant social, economic, and health challenges, including impacts on quality of life, cognitive decline, mental health, social isolation, and workforce participation.

In this webinar, we will present the Policy Manifesto on Hearing Health and outline concrete policy recommendations to improve hearing care across the EU. The session will focus on key measures and strategies to integrate hearing health into national plans, advance research, and place hearing care higher on the EU policy agenda to ensure equal access to screening and treatment.
