Deafness in Bangladesh is a major health issue. About 9.6% of the population of Bangladesh (about 13.7 million people as estimated from the 2011 census), is deaf or hard of hearing (having a loss of 40 dB or more).[1] Hearing loss in any degree is present in 34.6% of the population (49.2 million), and profound hearing loss (a loss of 90 dB of more) is present in 1.2% of the population (1.7 million).[1] The sign language used in Bangladesh is called Bangla Sign Language (BdSL). Deaf people in Bangladesh often do not have access to treatment or education, and commonly face discrimination. There are many Deaf associations in Bangladesh.
