Our Lifelong Hearing Team
Lifelong Hearing is an initiative, which aims to bring the right information on hearing loss and present the potential solutions for different hearing problems. The idea for the website was born as a wish to spread the knowledge on hearing loss topics further, in different languages and regions. We strive to talk about hearing topics in an interesting and understandable way and to share useful tips, as well as personal experience and stories of hearing implant users!
Let´s hear the world together!
