A new Synchrony study reveals that while most consumers prioritize their hearing, few take proactive measures to manage their hearing health. The study, which surveyed over 2,000 consumers and 26 audiologists, found that less than 10% of consumers visited an audiologist in the past year due to cost barriers. Despite 70% considering hearing a priority, many are in denial about potential hearing loss symptoms. Furthermore, there is a lack of awareness about the link between hearing loss and other health conditions. The study highlights the need for increased awareness and financial solutions to encourage proactive hearing care.
