As many as 1.2 million people over 40 in the Netherlands suffer from hearing loss. That shocking conclusion became clear more than a year ago through a study by Erasmus MC in collaboration with SafetyNL. “Indeed, a huge number,” says clinical physicist audiologist André Goedegebure, who is involved in the study. ,,And then we were also pretty neat. For example, we have not included mild hearing problems. This is about people with a hearing loss of more than 35 decibels, who actually need a hearing aid.”
