Abstract

Hearing loss affects at least 1.5 billion people globally. The WHO estimates 83% of people who could benefit from hearing aids do not use them. Barriers to HA uptake are multifaceted but include ineffectiveness of current HA technology in noisy environments with multiple competing noise sources where human performance is known to be dependent upon input from both the aural and visual senses.
