The prevalence aligns with global trends, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. Low HPD usage and prevalent beliefs in genetic causes of hearing loss underscore cultural influences and emphasize the necessity for culturally sensitive interventions. To advance public health, tailored interventions and educational programs within academic institutions are imperative. These findings lay the foundation for culturally sensitive public health initiatives.
