A few recent studies have highlighted the true extent regarding the rising prevalence of hearing loss 1 , being the second most common impairment in a review investigating 310 diseases 2 . The impact of hearing loss is often not isolated and may co-occur with other distressing prevalent auditory conditions such as tinnitus and loss of vestibular function. The incidence of these conditions increases with age [3][4][5] , which is of concern due to the proportion of elderly people rising 6 . As these are chronic long-term conditions, ongoing management is required, adding both the healthcare and societal economic burden. For hearing loss alone, the resulting annual global costs are $750 billion dollars (World Health Organization, Deafness and hearing impairment, 2018). Although interventions to address hearing loss, tinnitus, and vestibular disorders are cost-effective, provision of such services is hampered by factors such as a lack of resources 7 , evidence-based treatments, and limited hearing healthcare (HHC) professionals 8 . Uptake of interventions is further complicated by multiple factors surrounding accessibility (in terms of location and time), cost, and barriers surrounding engagement and compliance 9 .
