Description:
Founded in 1973, the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) conducts research and engages in hearing health education with the goal of helping people with hearing loss benefit from proper treatment. BHI maintains a “Hearing Helpline” telephone service that provides information on hearing loss, sources of assistance, and other hearing help to callers anywhere in the United States and Canada. BHI also publishes periodic studies of the hearing-impaired population based on its survey of 80,000 households. BHI receives funding from the hearing aid industry to support its professional/consumer outreach efforts.
