This indicator shows the percentage of the population aged 65 and over who are deaf or have some serious difficulty hearing.

Why is this important?

Hearing loss is one of the most common conditions affecting older adults. Hearing impairment can impose a social and economic burden on individuals and families. In adults, hearing impairment often makes it difficult to obtain, perform, and maintain employment. It also makes it difficult to respond to warnings or hear doorbells/alarms, and to understand and follow a doctor's advice. Hearing impairment can lead to depression, withdrawal, or isolation, as it can be hard to make conversation with friends and family and lead to frustration or embarrassment.
