In the United States, there are over 31 million people, or 10% of the population, suffering from hearing loss. More than 80% of these individuals remain undiagnosed and untreated. Left untreated, hearing loss is connected to depression, social isolation, lower self-esteem and decreased earning power. The incidence of hearing loss is expected to increase significantly as a result of an aging population and unprecedented exposure to environmental, vocational and recreational noise.
Today’s physicians and health care professionals face challenges in providing diagnostic hearing testing and hearing health treatment solutions. Many areas of the country are experiencing acute shortages of hearing health professionals, and the cost for conventional diagnostic testing is prohibitive.
Tympany™ designs and manufactures advanced, digital technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss. We are dedicated to providing systems for health care professionals to improve access to diagnostics and treatment.
