What was said
"44 million in the US, estimated 500— half a billion. Hearing loss. Clinical-grade hearing loss. And half a billion around the world."
Sawalich revealed that 44 million Americans and approximately 500 million people worldwide suffer from clinical-grade hearing loss. Most people wait an average of seven years after noticing symptoms before seeking treatment, during which isolation and cognitive decline accelerate. The VA represents the largest customer base for hearing aids.
