SHAA – The Society of Hearing Aid Acousticians of South Africa

Welcome to
the Society of Hearing Aid
Accousticians.
of South Africa

Hearing loss does not only affect the older generation. Actually, more and more young people are affected by hearing losses caused primarily by exposure to excessive noise.

Studies show that around 500 million people worldwide have a hearing loss. Many of them could benefit from wearing hearing aids because when hearing loss is detected and treated, people report significant improvements in many areas of their lives.
