Thankfully, I don't know anyone who's got hearing loss (or at least hearing loss which isn't selective!! :)) But according to the World Health Organisation, this is a very big issue. In fact, today is World Hearing Day. Here are the stats...
32 million children worldwide have disabling hearing loss
60% of cases are preventable - only 17% are from birth related causes.
31% of hearing loss cases result from infections
Make sure you're aware of the symptoms to prevent any issues escalating.
