Bay Audio has offered to donate Bay Screener to all GPs in order to help them detect hearing problems their patients may be suffering from. Hearing loss is a chronic condition among adults of all ages, and it’s well recognised that hearing loss gets worse as we age. More than 30 per cent of individuals over 65 suffer some type of hearing loss, 14 per cent of those between 45 and 64 also have hearing loss and more than half of all hearing impaired persons are under the age of 65 years.

 

Hearing loss is also on the increase in younger people. One reason for this trend is how long young people are wearing their MP3 players – and at what volume they’re listening to them. Over the last ten years, the percentage of seven year olds with hearing loss has increased 2.8 times and the hearing loss in 13 year olds has risen over four times.

 

“Bay Audio is committed to helping GPs detect and treat hearing loss in patients of any age. We believe that hearing loss is an important issue in Asia and we are taking steps to help detect these problems in the early stages by providing GPs with an Bay Screener,” says Peter Hutson, Audiologist and Director of Bay International.

 

The Bay Screener is a simple, 40-second screening device that gives an accurate measure in detecting hearing problems even in the early stages. Early intervention allows sufferers to be thoroughly checked and assessed for hearing aids, preventing needless problems in the future, and ultimately providing your patients with a better quality of life.

 

Developed by audiologists, the updated version of the Bay Hearing Screener^® provides rapid and effective screening of hearing impairment in patients.

Bay Audio still has a limited number of Bay Screeners for Singaporean medical practitioners, so if you’d like to request one for your practice, please email us
