Australians appear to be neglectful when it comes to the prevention and management of hearing loss, a new survey released today by Audika suggests.

The survey showed that 88% of Australian respondents over the age of 40 are more concerned about their eyesight fading, than having a hearing loss. The survey also showed that over a third of people surveyed (34%) over the age of 40 admit that they are probably hard of hearing but have never been tested or sought treatment. 61% of respondents admitted they are unlikely to undergo a hearing test in the next 12 months.

Fieldwork was conducted from 9 February to 13 February 2023.
