Epidemiology and Resource Implications

This report by Laura Turton examines the prevalence, causes, and effects of severe and profound hearing loss within the UK National Health Service. Based on the IRP 2012 data, it reveals that 6.7% of the clinical population manifests this condition. Key findings include characteristics of affected adults, including demographics, aetiologies, and employment statuses. The report highlights the multifaceted needs of this population, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the necessity for trained audiologists to address the complexities of severe and profound hearing loss effectively.

  12. Amplification

  13. Resource implications • Aging population • Aetiologies often highlight multiple additional issues alongside hearing loss • Eyes • Vestibular • Tinnitus • Memory • Voice • ENT support • Facial paralysis

  14. Multidisciplinary approach

  15. Complex Cases for AQP • Audiologist training – relevant experience for there complex cases • Specialist severe and profound clinics • Agreed standards and protocols • Outcome measures • Tariffs
