The forward year estimates are<br \/>\n$566 million of funding. The HSP represents a majority share of the overall Australian hearing services market, estimated to be approximately 70% of the total market. The HSP is one of the largest government funded hearing health care programs in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The HSP provides eligible Australians access to free and subsidised hearing devices and related services. Over 3m people in Australia have some form of hearing loss. 70% of those fit into the mild to moderate hearing loss category. The Company will place both IQbuds\u2122 and IQbuds Boost\u2122 on the Device Schedule as Assisted Listening Devices (ALD).<\/p>\n<p>The registration of Nuheara as a supplier to the HSP is a significant development for the Company, demonstrating its innovative hearing solutions have been recognised as a cost-effective option by the Australian Government. Justin Miller, CEO of Nuheara, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This secures Nuheara\u2019s mainstream position in the rapidly changing global hearing health care market. We are ready to fill a massive market gap by providing an ALD solution that is much more affordable and one which is more visually appealing and functional: an intelligent wireless earbud that also allows you to listen to music and take phone calls.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are delighted that this determination and drive has resulted in Nuheara being approved as a registered supplier to the HSP.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CONTACTS<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Australia<\/strong><br \/>\nJustin Miller<br \/>\nCEO and Managing Director<br \/>\n+61 8 6555 9999<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:justin.miller@nuheara.com\">justin.miller@nuheara.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Media<\/strong><br \/>\nRanya Alkadamani<br \/>\n+61 434 664 589<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:ranya@impactgroupinternational.com\">ranya@impactgroupinternational.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Nuheara<\/strong><br \/>\nNuheara is a global leader in Intelligent Hearing: smart personal hearing devices that enhance and amplify human experiences.
