Deafness and hearing loss fact sheet from WHO: providing key facts and information on causes, impact, prevention, identification, management and WHO response.
The term safe listening simply refers to specific listening behaviours that do not put your hearing at risk. The volume of sounds, the duration of listening, and frequency of exposure to loud sounds all have an impact on hearing. The higher the level of sound and longer the duration, the greater the risk of hearing loss.
The World report on Hearing aims to provide evidence-based guidance to drive actions for integration of quality EHC services into national health plans of Member States, as part of their work towards universal health coverage.
Many causes of hearing loss can be prevented through public health measures. Through rehabilitation, education and empowerment, people with hearing loss can reach their full potential. Raising awareness and improving access to services at the primary level can help to reduce the prevalence and adverse impact of hearing loss.
Prevention of hearing loss and deafness is essential throughout the life course – from prenatal and perinatal periods to older age. In children, nearly 60% of hearing loss is due to avoidable causes that can be prevented through implementation of public health measures, such as vaccination and maternal and neonatal care.

To address the widespread prevalence of undiagnosed and untreated hearing loss compounded by limited accessibility to hearing-related services, integrated people-centred ear and hearing care initiatives have been accelerated in parts of India.
