Resumen

La pérdida auditiva afecta a 500 millones de personas en todo el mundo, un número que aumenta debido a la insuficiencia de la atención médica auditiva mundial. La aplicación de estrategias de prevención y tratamiento de bajo costo puede reducir significativamente esta carga.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud pública
Epidemiología
Otorrinolaringología

Sus antecedentes:

La pérdida auditiva discapacitante afecta a aproximadamente 500 millones de personas en todo el mundo, lo que representa el 6,8% de la población mundial a partir de 2015.
Las estimaciones de prevalencia han aumentado significativamente desde antes de 2013, lo que pone de relieve una creciente preocupación por la salud pública.
Las crecientes cifras subrayan la necesidad crítica de mejorar las estrategias mundiales de atención de la salud auditiva.

Objetivo del estudio:

Revisar la carga actual de la pérdida auditiva discapacitante en todo el mundo.
Presentar recomendaciones para detener y revertir la creciente prevalencia de la pérdida auditiva.
Explorar oportunidades para intervenciones de prevención y tratamiento rentables.

Principales métodos:

Esta revisión sintetiza los datos e investigaciones existentes sobre la prevalencia y el impacto de la pérdida auditiva en todo el mundo.
Analiza los enfoques actuales para la atención de la salud auditiva, identificando lagunas y áreas de mejora.
Las recomendaciones se basan en una revisión de la literatura científica y el consenso de los expertos.

Principales resultados:

La carga global de la pérdida auditiva incapacitante es sustancial y está aumentando.
Existen estrategias rentables para la prevención de la pérdida auditiva.
Existen oportunidades para reducir los altos costos asociados con el tratamiento de la pérdida auditiva.

Conclusiones:

Se requiere una acción global urgente para hacer frente a la creciente carga de la pérdida auditiva.
La implementación de intervenciones de prevención y tratamiento accesibles puede generar importantes beneficios personales y sociales.
Abordar la pérdida auditiva se alinea con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas para una vida saludable y la inclusión de la discapacidad.

Hearing

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Perception of Sound Waves

Perception of Sound Waves

The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies in the audible range. It may perceive sound waves with the same pressure but different frequencies as having different loudness. Moreover, the perception of sound waves depends on the health of an individual's ears, which decays with age. The health of one's ears may also be affected by regular exposure to loud noises.
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same...

Auditory Perception

Auditory Perception

The auditory system is essential for sound perception, utilizing various critical structures. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where three tiny bones – the malleus, incus, and stapes – amplify the sound. This amplification is crucial, as it ensures that the sound vibrations are strong enough to be conveyed to the inner ear. These vibrations then reach the...
