This short page is about the contemporary situation of China’s the old hearing situation. According to the relevant research, there is just about 3% of China’s old man using hearing aids in their daily life compared to over 30% using rates in the western developed countries. Facing with this tremendous discrepancy, I had listed three main reasons about this phenomenon in my view.
From the residency perspective, there is quite amount of people in China regard hearing loss as a symbol of long life and normal situation by the increase of age, not a kind of disease. And also for youth, it’s a common sense for them to speak loudly when they talk to the old no matter of the current situation needed they facing with or just for courtesy.
Moreover, the appearance of the first hearing aid was in the 1920s, but hearing aids and its notion was not widespread in China, especially in the countryside. According to the data summary in 2021 of China’s government, there are still 36% of Chinese reside in countryside. And the absent parent in the country takes over the most parts of residency in the countryside. So there isn’t still enormous knowledge diffusion of hearing aids in China’s countryside. The old even don’t know there is the existence of hearing aids.
Last but not least, the price of hearing aids is still a big problem of them choosing not to use hearing aids products. The hearing service is not complete. You even can’t find a hearing shop in a common town in most area of China besides hospitals, much less the countryside. People can not get convenient hearing service from the daily life. It’s also block the hearing products development in China.
And there is one severe problem ignored by so many people is that hearing loss have significant connection to the the dementia. The cripple of hearing ability hinder the communication of the old with each other. With the decline of body function and memory，this gonna be a very serious problem. When can’t hear clearly, you have to use more energy and space of your brain to process the information you got. And the consequence is you usually don’t want to use more energy to listen clearly and communicate. Then the relevant function will be weakened. It’s not only just about the communication experience, but also the happiness feeling of life.
In short, the difficulties of hearing healthcare knowledge education relevant service improvement are formidable. But it’s not just about the hearing products development, the living welfare is widely connected meanwhile.
