BHI conducts scholarly research and engages in hearing health education with the goal of helping people with hearing loss to benefit from proper treatment. Every four years we survey 80,000 households using the National Family Opinion Panel.

This produces a wealth of information on the population of people with hearing-impairments including:

  • Prevalence of hearing impairments
  • Demography of the U.S. population with hearing loss
  • Customer satisfaction with hearing aids
  • Why people delay adoption of hearing aids
  • Prevalence of tinnitus and efficacy of treatments
  • Impact of hearing loss and hearing loss treatment on quality of life
  • Improving the consumer's experience with hearing aids
  • Pediatric hearing loss
  • Physician education and physician screening for hearing loss
  • Occupationally focused articles for people with hearing loss
In addition we write smaller publications and opinion pieces on relevant topics such as:
  • Tax credits for hearing aids
  • Diabetes and hearing loss
  • Hearing loss and job performance
  • Strategies for dealing with hearing loss denial
  • Getting financial assistance for hearing aids
As well as extensive downloadable eGuides for people with hearing loss:
