InHear – Innovation of Hearing Rehabilitation and Effects of Reform
The InHear project collaborates with 12 private hearing clinics, 5 public hearing clinics, and 3 private ENT specialist clinics and aims to investigate the safety and patient experienced treatment quality and satisfaction of a new digital assessment -and referral algorithm in Danish hearing healthcare. If proven safe, this new method has the potential to counter the impacts of the forecasted demographic changes such as +65 population growth, increasing numbers of hearing-impaired individuals over the next decades, and accelerated need for hearing rehabilitation. Alongside other promoting actions and remote care initiatives in hearing healthcare, InHEAR may contribute to remedy a situation where the hearing healthcare system as we know it may fail to accommodate the need for hearing rehabilitation in the future.
