Support research on hearing welfare

Hearing problems have a major impact on quality of life and can lead to anxiety, depression and social isolation. On average, people wait seven to ten years to seek help. Around 466 million people worldwide suffer from hearing problems. By 2050, there will be an estimated 900 million.

Much research is still needed on timely detection of hearing loss in both young and elderly people. Would you like to support research on hearing wellbeing? You can do so through KU Leuven's patronage.

For the first time UZ Leuven doctors and audiologists are testing telemonitoring in patients that were given a cochlear implant for the treatment of their loss of hearing. A new app makes digital follow-up possible for patients. As a result they don't have to come to the hospital that often for check-ups.

10 November 2021

Loss of smell is a common symptom of COVID-19. Flemish doctors have taken tissue samples of deceased COVID-19 patients and have discovered that the virus infects the supporting cells of the olfactory mucosa, but not the nerve cells with the odorant receptors. The olfactory bulb in the brain was also spared.

Doctors construct new outer ear from rib cartilage
