Encouragingly, satisfaction among hearing aid users has risen to 82%, and average daily usage now reaches 9 hours, reflecting increased engagement with the technology. Nearly all users (96%) report an improvement in their quality of life, while stigma is lessening, with 70% saying they never feel mocked or rejected due to their hearing aids.
