“…It is estimated that by 2050, more than 700 million people, or one in ten, will experience hearing loss 18 . Similar to this study, a report analyzed by the Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in 2019 found that the number of people treated for hearing loss increased from 366,000 in 2009 to 583,000 in 2018, with an average annual increase of 5.3 percent 19 . Compared with this study, the increase was similar, with an average annual growth rate of 4.98% from 604,000 in 2010 to 892,000 in 2018.…”

Hearing loss is the inability to hear speech or sounds well, owing to a number of causes. This study aimed to simultaneously determine the prevalence, incidence, and the gap between them in hearing loss in South Korean patients at the same point in time as well as to identify patients who have not recovered from hearing loss. We examined the prevalence and incidence of patients diagnosed with hearing loss in the National Health Insurance Service database over an 11-year period from 2010 to 2020. The difference between prevalence and incidence was defined by the term “Gap”. Clinical characteristics such as sex and age per 100,000 individuals were examined. As of 2020, the domestic prevalence and incidence rates obtained in this study were 1.84% and 1.57%, respectively, and the prevalence and incidence rates increased with increasing age. The gap was 0.27%, which showed a steady increasing trend from 2011 to 2020, and the total medical expenses increased accordingly. Because hearing loss is an irreversible disease, this Gap could mean many things, but it could be seen as a patient who has never recovered from hearing loss.

Objectives Hearing loss is the inability to hear speech or sounds well, owing to a number of causes. This study aimed to simultaneously determine the prevalence, incidence, and the Gap between them in hearing loss in South Korean patients at the same point in time as well as to identify patients who have not recovered from hearing loss. Methods We examined the prevalence and incidence of patients diagnosed with hearing loss in the National Health Insurance Service database over an 11-year period from 2010 to 2020. The difference between the prevalence and the incidence was defined in this study as the term "Gap". Gap is the number of patients converted into the number of patients per 100,000 people by subtracting the incidence from the prevalence. Clinical characteristics such as sex and age per 100,000 individuals were examined. Results As of 2020, the domestic prevalence obtained in this study was 1.84%, increasing annually, and the prevalence increased with age to 4.10% among those over 60. The domestic incidence was 1.57%, increasing annually, and the incidence increased with age to 3.36% for those over 60s. The Gap was 0.27%, showing a steady increase from 2011 to 2020 with a corresponding increase in insurance benefit expenses. Conclusion To fully understand the burden of hearing loss and develop effective prevention and treatment strategies, it is important to measure the Gap between its prevalence and incidence. This Gap means a lot because hearing loss is an irreversible disease. Gap represents patients who have already been diagnosed with hearing loss and are being diagnosed every year, indicating that the number of patients who do not recover is increasing. In other words, the increase in Gap meant that there were many patients who constantly visited the hospital for diagnosis of hearing loss.
