It is reported that the morbidity of congenital hearing impairment in Chinese newborns is 1‰ to 3‰. As they grow older, chances of getting permanent hearing impairment are even larger with the incidence rate growing up to 2.7 ‰ before five years old and to 3.5 ‰ in adolescence. The morbidity in the aged is as high as 73.58%. At present, there are 137,000 children from 0 to 6 years old suffering from hearing impairment and every year sees more than 30,000 new cases added to the group. Rehabilitation for deaf children has been included to the national rescue work plan. As revealed by statistics of the WHO, over 60% of children hearing impairment can be avoided. Thus, diagnosis, intervention, and rehabilitation at an early stage appear fairly important.

Authority Holding the Steering Wheel to Co-build a Bright Future

To raise more people’s awareness of hearing impairment, CR Expo 2017 in collaboration with China Rehabilitation Research Center for Hearing and Speech Impairment will create a Featured Area of China Hearing and Speech Rehabilitation Technologies and Products. Being the only national institution of its kind, China Rehabilitation Research Center for Hearing and Speech Impairment is the hub of the nation’s technological resources as well as an industry management organization, and at the same time, it is a national co-operator of international organizations like the WHO and Hearing International.

For thirty years since its establishment, the Center has assisted relevant governmental departments in drawing up, organizing and carrying out five 5-year plans for national hearing and speech rehabilitation, helping about 400,000 children recover partly and fully from hearing impairment. It promoted the establishment of around 1000 hearing and speech rehabilitation institutions in provinces, prefectures and counties. The Center has lived up to its reputation by leading and completing over 40 scientific research projects which created and improved the methods, technologies and standards of the industry. It has made indelible contribution to the development of China’s hearing and speech rehabilitation cause.
