Upon publication of Bhatta R et al (Reference Bhatta2025), the ORCID listed for Manish Gautam was incorrect and directed to a different author. The correct ORCID url is https://orcid.org/0009-0001-6059-2197

Additionally the percentage of disabling hearing loss was incorrectly stated within the abstract. The correct sentence should read: “Among 1946 participants, 38.9 per cent had hearing impairments, including 15.9 per cent with disabling hearing loss, with severity increasing with age.”

The article has been updated
