Harriet Oppenheimer, Chief Executive of RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People), delves into the organisation's work in support of the 18 million individuals in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss, or experience tinnitus. She underscores the pervasive nature of hearing-related issues, noting that if one does not personally face such challenges, they undoubtedly know someone who does. With this universal relevance as a foundation, RNID has committed to fostering inclusion and improving lives through a strategic framework focused on three interconnected levels: changing society, transforming systems, and enhancing individual lives. RNID, a heritage organisation with over a century of impact, remains steadfast in its purpose while adapting to the demands of a modern, digital world. Harriet explains how their work in "changing society" encompasses awareness campaigns to promote hearing protection and foster a culture of consideration for those with hearing loss. These efforts aim to break down barriers in social interactions and normalise the use of hearing aids and support systems. At the individual level, RNID provides direct support through online resources, a contact centre, and in-person services such as drop-in centres and community talks. These touch points enable RNID to stay connected to its communities and gather insights to shape its initiatives further. Harriet articulates the importance of early intervention in hearing loss, pointing out that untreated hearing impairment can exacerbate social isolation, depression, and even increase the risk of dementia. RNID's free online hearing check empowers people to address their hearing health proactively. Looking to the future, Harriet discusses the organisation's initiative to reimagine hearing healthcare in the UK. Despite significant technological and societal advancements, the process of receiving hearing care has remained largely unchanged for two decades. RNID is calling for genuine innovation — user centred, tech-enabled solutions that prioritise accessibility and personalisation. This includes ideas such as home-based hearing checks, app-based diagnostics, and devices tailored to individual needs. Harriet also touches on groundbreaking research into the link between hearing loss and dementia, a relatively nascent field with the potential to redefine approaches to dementia prevention and diagnosis. She emphasises that advancing this research requires collaboration and funding and invites stakeholders from various sectors to join RNID in this critical work. RNID's work is a call to action for society to recognise the importance of hearing health, break the stigma surrounding hearing aids, and embrace the potential of innovation to transform lives.

About this episode: Hearing declines for everyone as we get older, no matter what we do. As it declines, it can cause health problems like cognitive decline and brain atrophy, and is directly linked with Alzheimer's. But there are ways to understand and reduce these impacts including over-the-counter hearing aids and a new app where people can test their hearing on their smartphone. In this episode: a conversation about a health issue that will impact all of us to some degree, and how technology is helping to address impacts early and upend the stigma of hearing loss. Guest: Dr. Frank Lin is the director of the Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health and a professor of otolaryngology, medicine, mental health, and epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins University Schools of Medicine and Public Health. Host: Lindsay Smith Rogers, MA, is the producer of the Public Health On Call podcast, an editor for Expert Insights, and the director of content strategy for the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Brent Lucas, CEO of Envoy Medical, highlights the lack of innovation in hearing aids and the need to better address hearing health. Envoy has developed fully implanted hearing devices that provide 24/7 hearing assistance without the need for daily recharging of the battery.  With the introduction of over-the-counter hearing aids and the advanced Apple AirPods Pro 2, customer options have been expanded, making it easier to address some forms of hearing loss. Implanted devices eliminate the limitations of external hearing aids and reduce the impact of hearing loss on their daily lives. Brent explains, "Part of the problem in the hearing loss industry has been that it's not well understood. So there has not been a great deal of competition and innovation in the hearing loss world. Most of us have thought about hearing loss and how it's addressed by looking to our grandparents, the elders. Plenty of people joke about our dads or our grandfathers not being able to hear our grandmothers. When I tell people I'm in the hearing industry, the first thing that they say is, I can't hear you. And I always fall for it. And I say, I'm in the hearing industry, and they come clean that it was a joke. At the end of the day, there are unmet needs in finding solutions for people that are not just the status quo. That's really where Envoy Medical is building products that are fully implanted, in a sense, a better life because they're not tied to their hearing loss." "Right now, the current solutions on the market are all external products that need to be taken off at night or around water in the shower, during strenuous activity, working out, sweating too much, that sort of thing. You have to take your external device off. Our devices are fully implanted, meaning you can be capable of hearing 24/7, hearing all day, every day. We think that's the right thing to do for a patient because your hearing loss, after all, is a 24-hour problem. It shouldn't be that your solution is only on for part of the day."  #EnvoyMedical #HearingLoss #Acclaim #HearingAids #CochlearImplant $COCH #HearingHealth  envoymedical.com Listen to the podcast here
