The majority of deaths worldwide for all ages are due to chronic diseases. Cardiovascular diseases (mainly heart disease and stroke) are responsible for 30% of all deaths. Cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes are also major causes of mortality. The contribution of diabetes is underestimated because although people may live for years with diabetes, their deaths are usually recorded as being caused by heart disease or kidney failure.
See next slide notes for definitions.
The chart shows numbers of people with all levels of hearing impairment, estimated for 2005. The bars are not cumulative. The bars within the continuous red line together form all those people with disabling hearing impairment . Disabling hearing impairment is defined as &quot;moderate or worse hearing loss in the better ear&quot; or &quot; moderate or worse bilateral hearing loss&quot;, which means the same. Some people find the first definition more difficult conceptually but it better expresses that the hearing level does not need to be the same in both ears as long as they both have at least moderate hearing loss. The threshold for moderate or worse hearing level is set at 41 decibels or greater in adults and 31 decibels or greater in children up to age 15. The hearing level is the average level measured at 4 frequencies (see below). THE OFFICIAL DEFINITIONS ARE: Disabling hearing impairment in adults should be defined as a permanent unaided hearing threshold level for the better ear of 41 dB or greater; for this purpose the “hearing threshold level” is to be taken as the better ear average hearing threshold level for the four frequencies 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz.” Disabling hearing impairment in children under the age of 15 years should be defined as a permanent unaided hearing threshold level for the better ear of 31 dB or greater; for this purpose the “hearing threshold level” is to be taken as the better ear average hearing threshold level for the four frequencies 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz.” FROM: Report of the Informal Working Group on Prevention of Deafness and Hearing Impairment Programme Planning WHO, Geneva, 1991. With adaptations from Report of the First Informal Consultation on Future Programme Developments for the Prevention of Deafness and Hearing Impairment, World Health Organization, Geneva, 23-24 January 1997, WHO/PDH/97.3. .
Malignant neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases and other sense organ disorders are shown, for comparison to Hearing loss, adult onset. So far child-onset hearing loss has not been included as a separate line iin the GBD.
The map shows location for all the 16 surveys from 10 countries that specifically used the WHO Survey protocol and received technical support or help from WHO. Some other projects have used the protocol in various ways without technical support. The figures in red show the prevalence rate of disabling hearing impairment for all ages, as found by each survey. The main aims of the surveys are to :- Raise awareness Determine priorities Select strategies for prevention Predict needs Help burden of disease measurement and economic analysis The 4 province China surveys have all completed collecting the data but they are still classed as&quot; in progress&quot; because analysis is not completed. Professor Xingkuan Bu from Nanjing will give a keynote speech on the Chinese results on the 26 th April.
These data were quoted in ADG's speech. Professor Ruben, author of the US data, is attending and will give a keynote speech on this topic on 26 th April.

These are students at a school for deaf people in Brazil., using sign language to communicate. This relates to the next slide which highlights issues related to the &quot;Deaf&quot; community.
The WFD quote represents an extreme view, and I believe that not all WFD members would subscribe to it. It could be used to highlight that the profoundly Deaf community sees itself as a linguistic minority, with similar rights to other minorities, rather than people with a disability. The International Federation for Hard of Hearing People (IFHOH), generally want to join with the hearing community and have no problem with the idea of prevention. The second quote is from the young people's branch of IFHOH.
This independent journal is one way of raising awareness. It is funded by WHO through a grant from CBM. It can be sent free to primary level health workers and others in developing countries. It's also available on-line.

The majority of causes and at least 50% of the burden can be fully prevented, the majority at the primary level of health care. The WHO strategy focuses on preventable causes in the High and Moderate frequency group.
This slide is included to show that WHO covers secondary and tertiary prevention as well as primary prevention (this gives the rationale for including provision of hearing aids in PDH as an intervention for prevention). The slide uses the old ICIDH classification, not the newer one from ICF.
Covers of the English and Chinese Editions. The first edition was launched in 2001 and eventually provided the foundation for the development of WWHearing. The covers show the second editions from 2004. The Chinese version was translated by Professor Xingkuan Bu, of the University of Medical Science of Nanjing. He is director of the Ear and Hearing Centre, Dept of Otolaryngology, People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province, Nanjing.
This was the press release at the launch of the WHO Hearing Aids Guidelines in 2001, with some quotes that stimulated the setting up of WWHearing.
Some of reasons for poor uptake of Hearing Aids Lack of awareness of the benefit of hearing aids Stigma attached to wearing hearing aids (h/aids) Limited availability of (h/aids) in rural areas Unaffordable Cost of h/aids ( $200 – $300) Unavailability of small hearing aid batteries Few trained technicians to fit & maintain h/aids Poor quality hearing aids Improper fitting of hearing aids
The executive board from the regional body, Sound Hearing 2030, are attending the conference. Manufacturers (commercial and not-for-profit) are observers, and not members of WWHearing (hence their oval is surrounded by a dashed line).
Rationale for the WHO&WWH Collaboration The 2 organizations are complementary:- WHO Global visibility & credibility Access to highest-level health decision makers Public health expertise Can assist prioritization of hearing impairment WWHearing Sharp focus on this issue Joins key stakeholders in partnership Links to other sectors Can develop innovative solutions Working together -> effects far greater than each alone OBJECTIVES OF THE WHO-WWH COLLABORATION PROJECT Data on provision and need for hearing aids and services [Leader WHO] Constraints to providing hearing aids & services in developing countries, and how to overcome them [Leader WWH] Projects to implement or improve provision of hearing aids and services [Leader WWH] Networks and partnerships from public & private sectors and civil society to provide affordable, appropriate hearing aids and services to satisfy the need [Leader WWH] Criteria to review, monitor and evaluate partnerships & projects . [Leader WWH] Studies on economic costs of hearing impairment, and cost/effectiveness of hearing aid interventions [Leader WHO] Encouraging Member States to introduce hearing health services to collect data in censuses on hearing impairment, hearing handicap and hearing aid use [Leader WHO]
Pilot studies in India & China will complete in 2008. The studies are innovative community-based studies to fit & follow-up hearing aids by Community-Health Workers in adults in India, and by teachers of deaf children in China. Each study includes analysis of economic costs and cost-effectiveness of the intervention by Dr Rob Baltussen who is attending the conference. CRRCDC are conducting the pilot study in China. It is due to complete in late 2007. Both pilot studies are funded by Christoffel-Blindenmission, CBM.

WHO Home Page in March, 2006 when PEHC Training Resource was launched.
Picture shows the Train the Trainers course that followed the launch of the PEHC Training Resource in Kaduna, Nigeria. These trainers then returned to the own institutions across Northern Nigeria, to train more trainers or directly train PEHC or PHC workers with the following attributes:- Become competent Primary Ear and Hearing Care Workers Demonstrate their understanding of Primary Ear & Hearing Care Confidently identify & manage common ear disease & hearing impairment Fulfil a vital role in decreasing the number of hearing impaired people
The original question in the abstract was &quot;How does the hearing impairment programme adhere to the objectives of its parent team, and what is the programme doing in order to achieve measurable gains for the strategic objective?&quot; The slides do not answer that question, since there is still a long way to go. The question could be answered by the presenter during the presentation, as a kind of comment on the slides. Alternatively it could be left to the audience to make their own judgement.
The last 3 slides are just a short story to finish with. The local clinic in Sao Paulo that provided Luciano's hearing aids is now working with WWHearing to set up a pilot study in Brazil to test the most effective ways to deliver hearing aids in such a context.
Luciano also became famous and helped to launch the WHO Global report on Chronic Diseases..
