The **World Health Organization (WHO)** estimates that globally, **1.5 billion people** live with some degree of hearing loss, a number expected to rise to **2.5 billion by 2050**. This increase is driven by factors such as population aging, unsafe listening habits, limited access to care, preventable causes going untreated, and insufficient early screening.
