“Tinnitus affects 15% percent of the world population. As a company on a mission to helping people enjoy what they listen to in a safe manner, the TinnitusFree Foundation is a cause that we feel very connected with”, says Stefan van Sabben, Global CSR and Sustainability Manager at TP Vision. “We are proud to support the foundation and their work in raising awareness, preventing, and their global research to find a cure for tinnitus.”

(Prolonged) exposure to loud music is a common cause of tinnitus. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.1 billion young people (12-35 years) are at risk of noise-induced hearing loss in the recreational sphere. Research shows that when using personal music players, more than half of the users do this on a volume that is too high. This is due for a large part to the use of low-quality poorly fitting in-ear buds and headsets. Such devices allow more background noise, so that the user tends to turn up the volume. The TinnitusFree foundation promotes the use of high-quality sound carriers, in line with the recommendations of veiligheid.nl. The TinnitusFree Foundation is proud to collaborate with TP Vision, which has a proven reputation in the field of high-quality sound carriers. The Philips Fidelio L3 (produced by TP-V) won the 2021/2022 EISA award for best wireless headphone.
