  • It aims to spread awareness about hearing health and how to avoid hearing loss.
  • Over 5% of the global population (approx. 43 crores) need rehabilitation to treat 'disabling' hearing loss.
  • By 2050 it was estimated that over 70 crore individuals, or about one out of every ten people, are expected to suffer debilitating hearing loss.
  • Hearing loss that is 'disabling' is defined as hearing loss higher than 35 decibels (dB) in the better-hearing ear.
  • Almost 80% of people with hearing loss reside in low- and middle-income nations.
  • This year's theme will be “Changing mindsets: Empower yourself to make ear and hearing care a reality for all!”.
