Policy Manifesto on Hearing Loss
Launching a European Hearing Health Strategy
The Hearing Health Forum is proud to present its Policy Manifesto to launch a European Hearing Health Strategy. Hearing health policies across EU member states are rare, increasing the detrimental health and socio-economic effects of untreated hearing loss.
Calling the European Commission for Action
With this Policy Manifesto, we call on the European Commission to focus on raising awareness of hearing loss, ensuring effective early prevention strategies across the EU on a national level, improving access to appropriate hearing care and treatment and supporting research that facilitates evidence-based policymaking.
Prioritising hearing loss in health policy agendas will allow children and adults to reach their potential, Europe’s elderly to actively age and ensure the long-term sustainability of our healthcare systems and society at large.

Why We Need a Manifesto
Hearing loss affects over 34.4 million adults in the EU, yet access to care remains limited and unequal. A European Hearing Health Strategy is urgently needed to address the growing social, economic, and health impacts of untreated hearing loss. By raising awareness, promoting early detection, ensuring access to care, and supporting research, the manifesto calls for coordinated EU action to improve quality of life and reduce long-term costs.
