What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of the population that are deaf or have some serious difficulty hearing. |
| Why this is important: Hearing impairment can impose a social and economic burden on individuals and families. In children, hearing impairment may delay development of language and cognitive skills, which may hinder progress in school. In adults, hearing impairment often makes it difficult to obtain, perform, and maintain employment. Hearing impairment can lead to depression, withdrawal, or isolation. |
| Technical Note: The regional value is compared to the national value. |
