Hearing Care for Seniors
Along with social changes and the improvement of medical and health care, the population ratio of 65 years old and above has reached 14% in Taiwan. Taiwan has officially entered the aged society and the government has implemented the 10-year long-term care plan 2.0 as a countermeasure. Age is one of the causes of hearing degeneration. With the implementation of long-term care 2.0, people start to take the issues of hearing care seriously. We should all pay more attention to the risk factors in our elders’ daily life, discover the signs of hearing loss in time, actively participate in the training and treatments, minimize the loss of cognitive function, and strengthen their connection with others.
