198 - Mapping Hearing Loss Across America: Interesting Insights from the Sound Check Study Revealed

This week, host Dave Kemp is joined by Dr. David Rein to delve into the groundbreaking Sound Check study, a collaborative research and communications project led by NORC at the University of Chicago.


This initiative aims to unveil the extent of hearing loss across the United States by state and county, highlighting its pervasive nature, especially among adults. With rates of hearing loss escalating notably from age 35 onwards, the study underscores the urgent need for enhanced prevention and screening efforts to safeguard physical and mental wellbeing.

Partnering with organizations like Burness, ASHA, NCHAM, and the Johns Hopkins Cochlear Center, Sound Check brings attention to the critical role of regular screenings and hearing protection in mitigating the adverse impacts of untreated hearing loss.
