Hearing Loss Among Teachers: A Major Public Health Challenge

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Report on Hearing, 1.57 billion people worldwide had hearing loss in 2019, i.e. 20.3% of the world population. By 2050, this population will rise to 2.45 billion. One of the major causes of hearing loss is older age. Over 58% of moderate or higher-grade hearing loss is experienced by adults above the age of 60 years, and with increasing retirement age in many countries, hearing loss can be a barrier against productivity. Unaddressed hearing loss can pose a negative impact on various aspects of life and society, like communication, employment, mental health, cognition, interpersonal relationships, as well as on the economy. The global economic costs of hearing loss in 2019 were estimated at over $981 billion, which includes costs related to healthcare, education, productivity losses and societal costs.
