Abstract (English): Background: Hearing impairment constitutes the fourth leading cause of disability on a global scale, predominantly affecting geriatric patients. In 2023, deafness was identified in the Hospital de Especialidades (Specialties Hospital) "Dr. Bernardo Sepúlveda" as the main reason for consultation in the Otorhinolaryngology Department, accounting for a total of 1755 cases, while it occupied second place in the Audiology Department with 1723 cases. Objective: To identify the prevalence of hearing loss in the Mexican population attended as beneficiaries in a high specialty medical unit in Mexico City in 2023. Material and methods: An observational, cross-sectional, retrospective, and descriptive study was carried out based on the records of patients who attended the Audiology Department from January 1 to December 31, 2023. Data were collected from the Electronic Medical Record, including age, gender, symptoms, diagnosis, type, severity and laterality of hearing loss. Results: A total of 3396 patients with hearing impairment were obtained. The prevalence of hearing loss in 2023 in the Audiology Department was 68.6%, predominantly in female patients, with a superficial degree, sensorineural type and over 60 years of age. Conclusions: In the Hospital de Especialidades "Dr. Bernardo Sepúlveda", 2 out of 3 patients who come to the Audiology Department present some degree of hearing impairment, mainly due to a sensorineural condition.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: el deterioro auditivo constituye la cuarta causa principal de discapacidad a escala global e impacta predominantemente a la demografía geriátrica. En el año 2023 se identificó a la hipoacusia dentro del Hospital de Especialidades "Dr. Bernardo Sepúlveda" como el principal motivo de consulta en el Servicio de Otorrinolaringología, al contabilizar un total de 1755 casos, mientras que ocupó el segundo motivo de consulta en el Servicio de Audiología con 1723 casos. Objetivo: identificar la prevalencia de hipoacusia en la población mexicana derechohabiente atendida en 2023 en una unidad médica de alta especialidad en la Ciudad de México. Material y métodos: se hizo un estudio observacional, transversal, retrospectivo y descriptivo con base en expedientes de derechohabientes que acudieron al Servicio de Audiología en el periodo del 1 de enero al 31 de Diciembre de 2023. Se recabó por medio del expediente clínico electrónico la edad, el género, la sintomatología, el diagnóstico, el tipo, la severidad y la lateralidad de la hipoacusia. Resultados: se obtuvo un total de 3396 pacientes con discapacidad auditiva. La prevalencia de pérdida auditiva en 2023 en el Servicio de Audiología fue de 68.6%; predominó en el género femenino, fue de grado superficial, de tipo neurosensorial y se presentó en la población mayor de 60 años. Conclusiones: en el Hospital de Especialidades "Dr. Bernardo Sepúlveda", 2 de cada 3 pacientes que acuden al Servicio de Audiología presentan algún grado de deterioro auditivo, principalmente por una condición neurosensorial.
