In this episode, we'll speak with Associate Professor Holly Teagle from the University of Auckland in New Zealand and explore how we can address the growing hearing loss epidemic. We'll also gain a broader perspective on why treatment guidelines and a standard of care for hearing loss are so crucial when we hear from two additional experts in the field, Dr Leo De Raeve, Scientific Adviser of the European Association of Cochlear Implant Users, and Associate Professor Robert Briggs, Head of Otology and Medical Director of the Cochlear Implant Clinic at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Australia.
