The need for future hearing rehabilitation is enormous. World Health Organization (WHO 2021) has estimated that by 2050, 2.5 billion people will have some degree of hearing loss, and 1/4 of them will require hearing rehabilitation. Currently, healthcare systems and processes are already overwhelmed and not adequately equipped to screen and diagnose this rapidly growing population suffering from hearing impairment. This study aims to investigate if the diagnostics of age-related hearing loss can be accelerated by involving patients in the hearing assessment process.
