One-Day Store Manager Event with Influencer 'Deaf Rabbit'

The specialized hearing aid store, Audio Nova, operated by Hearing Distributor Japan Co., Ltd., has announced an exciting collaboration with popular influencer 'Deaf Rabbit.' On June 17, 2025, at their flagship store 'World of Hearing Nakameguro,' the influencer will serve as the one-day store manager, hosting an event aimed at promoting hearing aids in a more accessible manner.

Raising Awareness About Hearing Disabilities

According to the JapanTrak 2022 survey, approximately 13.2% of adults in Japan experience some form of hearing loss that impacts their daily lives. Surprisingly, only 14.4% of these individuals use hearing aids, a stark contrast to the average of about 40% in European countries. Many people still associate hearing aids with the elderly or view them as something embarrassing, which contributes to this low usage rate. At Audio Nova, we believe that hearing aids should not be considered special; similar to eyeglasses for vision correction, they should be seen as a standard part of our social infrastructure.

Experience Hearing Loss Firsthand

At 'World of Hearing Nakameguro,' the store is equipped with an 'Experience Room' where visitors can simulate how a person with hearing loss experiences sound. During the upcoming event, participants can try out simulations of varying degrees of hearing loss, including the perspective of 'Deaf Rabbit' herself. The aim is to enhance understanding of appropriate communication and interaction with those who have hearing impairments.

The event will also include opportunities for hands-on experience with hearing aid maintenance, guided by 'Deaf Rabbit.' Attendees will receive a special collaborative sticker as a take-home gift.
