Impact on children
• Communication skills • Educational attainment • Quality of life
Early intervention leads to improved outcomes1

Relatively small No assessment of under-ascertainment

Conclusion
The prevalence of permanent childhood hearing impairment continues to rise after birth over a wider age range than had previously been reported and reaches a higher plateau.
1. Acquired impairments
• Usually due to bacterial meningitis or trauma • Can occur at any age • Contributes 7% of overall prevalence
