Our ability to hear and engage with others and the environment around us is foundational to healthy aging. The Johns Hopkins Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health is the only global research institution focused exclusively on issues related to hearing loss and public health in older adults. Cochlear Center researchers are interested in understanding the impact of hearing loss on public health. We focus on what can be done now across five core areas—population health evidence, public awareness, policy, and legislation, technology, and healthcare delivery—to address hearing loss in older adults at scale.
