Abstract
Content

Hearing loss can occur as a result of aging, genetic predisposition, an illness or injury, or over the course of years of exposure to loud sounds, which cause intense vibrations that damage the hair cells inside the cochlea. It is estimated that 10 percent of the world’s population has hearing problems. Without treatment, people with hearing loss experience social isolation, and are more prone to psychological illness, depression, anxiety, and paranoia. Loss of hearing means loss of information, networking, and economic power for an individual and the economy.
