Online Hearing has announced the release of their latest infoguide: 12 Interesting Statistics on Hearing Loss Everyone Should Know
“5% of people experience a disabling hearing loss,” according to the World Health Organization. “Among adults ages 20-69, males are approximately twice as likely as females to have hearing loss,” the infoguide adds.
The infoguide also provides a clear description highlighting the differences between hearing loss, and outright deafness. Hearing loss is a partial or complete loss of hearing in one or both ears. That loss of hearing is measured in decibels, and a disabling hearing loss is considered to be 40 decibels or higher.
Sourced from industry experts such as the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders and the WHO, this guide provides a dozen statistics about hearing loss about both adults and children.
