Hearing loss is a growing public health concern, and the number of cases is rising globally at a significant pace. As per the WHO, more than 1.5 billion people (nearly 20% of the global population) live with hearing loss, and 430 million of them have disabling hearing loss. According to the NIDCD, in the United State, about 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 children are born with a detectable level of hearing loss in one or both ears. Similarly, approx. 15% of adults (37.5 million) aged 18 and over report some trouble hearing. As per the estimates, by 2050, there could be over 700 million people with disabling hearing loss worldwide.
