Public at ease with eye care
Eighty per cent of the British population would feel comfortable wearing glasses, while over 90 per cent have visited an optician at some time according to the results of a survey by Siemens Hearing.
The survey compared public perceptions to hearing and vision aids and revealed that only a third of the 2,107 questioned would feel comfortable wearing a hearing aid.
Audiologist Rob Ryman from Siemens commented: 'The fact that more than twice the number of people would feel happier wearing glasses than a hearing instrument demonstrates that people still think of hearing instruments as clunky, protruding, banana-shaped devices.'
