Facts and figures about hearing loss – world wide<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

\n
\n
Over 5% of the world\u2019s population \u2013 or 430 million people \u2013 require rehabilitation to address their disabling hearing loss (including 34 million children). It is estimated that by 2050 over 700 million people \u2013 or 1 in every 10 people \u2013 will have disabling hearing loss. Disabling hearing loss refers to hearing loss greater than 35 decibels (dB) in the better hearing ear. Nearly 80% of people with disabling hearing loss live in low- and middle-income countries. The prevalence of hearing loss increases with age, among those older than 60 years, over 25% are affected by disabling hearing loss. We call for hearing loss \u2013 as well as other hearing impairments \u2013 to be addressed. Fact-based. Informative. Promoting prevention.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
