Session Overview: A large proportion of individuals experience hearing difficulties before the audiogram shows there is a problem. This form of hidden hearing loss has important implications both on the people with hearing difficulties and the clinicians who treat them. In this talk, I will present a comprehensive overview of different models based on animal research that may explain the underlying causes of these early signs of hearing loss. Further, I will show the clinical value of different interventions (including hearables and low-gain hearing aids) to attend the unique needs of this segment of the population with hearing difficulties. This will include research by NAL evaluating the value of the AirPods Pro hearables and the Phonak M50 hearing aids.
