Do you care about your Hearing?
Almost half a billion people worldwide have moderate to profound hearing loss, and this number is predicted to increase to more than 900 million—or one in ten people—by 2050. The focus of this year's World Hearing Day, held on March 3, is to draw attention to the importance of early identification and intervention.
The consequences of hearing loss are far-reaching. About 1 billion young people globally risk developing hearing loss through exposure to loud music through personal audio devices.
Around 50 million people worldwide have dementia and this number is predicted to triple by 2050. Hearing loss is one of the modifiable risk factor for dementia according to The Lancet Journal.
