Hearing Implants: A Powerful Solution for Hearing Loss

• At least 63 million Indians, around 6.3% of the population, live with significant hearing loss, according to India’s health authorities.

• The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 430 million people require rehabilitation for disabling hearing loss globally, including 34 million children.

• Newborn and early onset permanent hearing loss occurs in roughly 0.5 to 5 in every 1,000 infants, highlighting the need for universal newborn screening and regular checks through childhood.

• Hearing loss is often misunderstood, affecting education, employment, emotional well-being, and social connection.

• Early intervention can change the trajectory of a child’s development.

• Advances in hearing implant technology have transformed the landscape of ENT care, restoring participation in life.

• Cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve, making them ideal for individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss.

• Hearing implants have the power to change lives at every stage, from children finding their voices to elderly patients reconnecting with family and society.

• Early detection is key, with universal newborn screening, school-based checks, routine assessments for older adults, and public awareness to reduce stigma.

Restoring Hearing Ability is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
