3rd March is celebrated as 'World Hearing Day' since 2007 by the World Health Organization. This year's theme is 'Changing Mindsets: Let's Make Ear and Hearing Care a Reality for All'. According to the World Health Organization, individuals need to change their attitude towards deafness.

Hearing impaired in children

In layman's terms, sound that cannot be heard up to 35 decibels falls under the category of deafness. Previously, hearing loss was more common in old age. But now the situation has changed and the rate of hearing impairment has increased in children as well. Excessive use of headphones, airpods, handsfree is responsible for this. It has also been found that many children use it at very high volume, causing their hearing to deteriorate.

In the last three years, there has been an increase of more than 10 percent in cases with complaints of hearing loss in children. Regarding this, the Head-Professor of ENT Department of Sola Civil Hospital Dr. Neena Bhalodia said, 'People go to the doctor immediately if they see a slight dimness in their eyes, but if hearing problems arise, the level of negligence is still the same. Many people consult a doctor when the hearing problem worsens. It is imperative to consult a doctor as soon as there is a sign of hearing loss. Cases of progressive hearing loss are also increasing in adolescents and young adults. In which the hearing is weakened in stages.'

What are the causes of deafness?
