Karachi March 03 (Online): The number of people suffering from court problems worldwide is expected to reach 90 million by 2050, i.e. 450 million in 2022, according to doctors.
Noise pollution is one of the reasons for the increase in the number of hearing-impaired people in developing countries, including Pakistan, we cannot reduce the number of hearing-impaired people without controlling the noise pollution.
These thoughts were shared by the experts in Seminars organized individually by Dow University of Sciences on 3rd March, World Hearing Day at Dow International Medical College Ojha Campus.
The global epidemic has led to a sharp rise in the number of people working online from home, leading to fears that people working online may be more likely to suffer from hearing loss, experts say.
Line workers are advised to take ten minutes break every hour during work. He said that the use of hands-free and headphones etc. is more dangerous for hearing than loudspeakers because listening through loudspeakers.
While the attention may be diverted to another direction, the hands-free microphone keeps all the attention in one direction and there is constant pressure on the hearing and there is no pause. Nose, Ear and Throat Specialists say that in our country, people who are affected by noise pollution do not get an immediate diagnosis.
Due to hearing impairment, people do not understand what people are saying and then they also do not react, which can lead to various perceptions about the hearing impaired.
Experts said that after the age of five, children with hearing loss face difficulties in treatment while the elderly consider hearing aids to be defective and another reason is that these devices are expensive.
The experts appealed to the government to take steps to reduce the cost of hearing aids or hearing aids or provide them to the people at low cost or at government expense.
These experts said that human-invented machines have facilitated humans on the one hand and increased noise pollution on the other. Other countries have reduced this pollution by setting strict standards but in countries like ours noise pollution is increasing instead of decreasing. Noise pollution in Karachi is very high at Tibet Center.
Experts said slapping on the ear or hearing the sound of a bike through silencer or aerial firing could suddenly affect hearing. Earlier, health professionals and staff walked from OT Complex to OPD block in Ojha Campus and also in Civil Hospital.
Principal, Dow Medical College, Saba Sohail said there was a need for large-scale public awareness campaigns so that people could understand that hearing loss was a major problem. Dr. Noor Mohammad Soomro, Medical Superintendent, Civil Hospital, said that deaf children are not only treated but also trained at the Civil Hospital.
