中文摘要

目的： 听力损失是一个重大的全球健康问题，然而许多国家缺乏提供听力保健服务所需的必要人力资源。本研究旨在评估全球听力医疗保健提供者（包括听力学家及其他参与听力保健的专业人员）的分布、可获得性和培训情况。
设计与研究样本： 全球耳鼻咽喉头颈外科倡议于2022年6月至2024年3月开展了一项横断面电子调查，收集了代表全球77%人口的93个国家的国家级数据。根据世界银行和世界卫生组织的分类，按收入分类和地理区域对回复进行了分析。
结果： 全球听力学家密度为每10万人1.48名，超过70%的国家报告每10万人中听力学家不足1名。总体听力医疗保健人力资源密度为每10万人4.1名。低收入国家的培训机会有限，其中83%的听力学家在国外接受培训。非洲、东地中海和东南亚区域尤其服务不足。不同区域和收入水平的人力资源角色和服务范围差异很大。
结论： 这些发现凸显了关键差距，并强调需要有针对性的人力资源规划和可持续的培训项目，以改善全球听力保健。

英文摘要

OBJECTIVE: Hearing loss is a major global health concern, yet many countries lack the necessary workforce to provide hearing care services. This study aimed to evaluate the global distribution, availability, and training of hearing healthcare providers, including audiologists and other professionals involved in hearing care.
DESIGN AND STUDY SAMPLE: A cross-sectional electronic survey was conducted from June 2022 to March 2024 by the Global Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Initiative, collecting national-level data from 93 countries representing 77 percent of the world's population. Responses were analysed by income classification and geographic region based on World Bank and World Health Organization categories.
RESULTS: The global density of audiologists was 1.48 per 100,000 people, with more than 70 percent of countries reporting fewer than one audiologist per 100,000. The overall hearing healthcare workforce density was 4.1 per 100,000 population. Training opportunities were limited in low-income countries, where 83 percent of audiologists were trained outside their home country. The African, Eastern Mediterranean, and South-East Asian regions were especially underserved. Workforce roles and service scope varied widely across regions and income levels.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight critical disparities and emphasise the need for targeted workforce planning and sustainable training programs to improve global hearing care.
