For people who want comprehensive data rather than this hopelessly wrong 'factoid' underestimate, for the UK at least, check out the following 1000-page study:
It has extensive tables that break down the types of hearing loss found across genders, age, employment types, etc, etc. It badly needs a TL;DR to communicate the key points to general readers, but 25 years it was written, is still cited by the UK's National Health Service as the primary reference for those who want to understand the prevalence of deafness.
