One in six Australians suffer from hearing loss and this figure is representative of the rest of the world. Research suggests that this figure is expected to be as high as one in five or one in four by the year 2050.

Leisure activities are having a greater impact on hearing loss. Exposure to high levels of sound at night clubs, pubs and rock concerts can have a damaging effect on the hearing of younger people. MP3 players and iPods can also be damaging to young ears.
