In the published article above, it has come to our attention that an in-text citation was inadvertently omitted from the Introduction section.

On page 8, the sentence originally published as:

“However, the hearing aid (HA) uptake rate remains to be extremely low from 3.3% among Singapore adults to 7.5% of the elderly, in contrast to a higher rate of HA adoption in other countries such as Japan (14%), Germany (37%), and the United Kingdom (48%) [6-8].”

should be corrected to:

“However, the hearing aid (HA) uptake rate remains to be extremely low from 3.3% among Singapore adults to 7.5% of the elderly [2,3], in contrast to a higher rate of HA adoption in other countries such as Japan (14%), Germany (37%), and the United Kingdom (48%) [6-8]”

The change is marked in underline.

We apologize for any inconvenience this oversight may have caused.
