A Path to a European Health Union:
the Manifesto

With 34.4 million Europeans affected by hearing loss, untreated hearing challenges have far-reaching impacts on individuals, communities, and healthcare systems across Europe.

HEARRING, in collaboration with the Hearing Health Forum EU, EURO-CIU, and MED-EL, is advocating for a European Hearing Health Strategy to address these pressing issues.

Raising public understanding and breaking stigma.

E

Early Prevention & Detection

Ensuring timely screening and intervention to all age groups.

A

Access & Care

Improving equitable access to hearing solutions across all member states.

R

Research & Data Collection

Driving evidence-based policies through robust research.
