Project title: Listen Up! Rethinking Mental Health & Hearing in the North
Primary region: EUR
Country: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Event Description:
Mental health issues and hearing loss affect millions in England and globally, with research showing that individuals with hearing loss are twice as likely to experience depression and other mental health issues. In the North, where historically industrial areas have experienced higher rates of hearing loss, this connection highlights how environmental and socioeconomic factors drive health inequalities across regions. We’ll explore the latest findings on these issues, their impact on living and ageing well, and strategies to improve health and economic outcomes in areas most affected by these challenges. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with others passionate about this topic, share ideas, and explore potential collaborations. Tackling these complex challenges requires interdisciplinary solutions that consider both people and the places and communities they are part of. We will consider how evidence can better inform and shape policy & why public involvement is essential for achieving our shared goals
