“The inauguration of the BestSound Center in Pune underscores our unwavering dedication to providing innovative hearing solutions across India. Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans today. There is a stigma associated with hearing loss that is well known. Many factors contribute to the stigma, but perhaps the biggest one is that we don’t talk about it enough. Untreated hearing loss has social, physical, and psychological consequences. With the launch of this store, we aim to provide an inclusive experience that reframes assumptions about hearing aids and empowers the people of Pune to take action,” said Mr. Avinash Pawar, CEO & Managing Director, WS Audiology India.
“Partnering with Signia is a proud moment for us,” said Mr. Vishal Shah, CEO, Aanvii Hearing Solutions. “With over 14 years of expertise in audiology and speech therapy, our center is dedicated to offering holistic diagnostic and rehabilitation services. This collaboration enables us to bring world-class hearing solutions to the community of Pune.”
Aanvii Hearing Solutions has established itself as a trusted name in speech and hearing care, offering state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic services to individuals of all ages. Under the clinical expertise of Mr. Vishal Shah, the center provides a wide range of services, including advanced audiological diagnostics, speech therapy, and the fitting of the latest amplification devices.
Globally, hearing loss impacts an estimated 1.6 billion people, with over 430 million facing severe difficulties. Despite available solutions, only 20% of those affected have access to hearing aids. In India, approximately 6.3% of the population experiences some form of hearing loss, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced accessibility and awareness.
About 5% of adults ages 45 to 54 have disabling hearing loss. The rate increases to 10% for adults ages 55-64. 22% of those ages 65 to 74 and 55% of those who are 75 and older have disabling hearing loss.
With the launch of the BestSound Center in Pune, Signia takes another step forward in its mission to empower individuals with hearing impairments, offering them the chance to reconnect with the world and live life to its fullest potential.
