Hearing is vital for people’s communication abilities, quality of life, social participation, and health.The prevalence of hearing loss will rise considerably in coming decades due to changing population demographics, increasing exposure to risk factors such as recreational noise, and persistence of untreated ear conditions such as otitis media.
World Hearing Day is the largest global awareness campaign on ear and hearing care that calls for action to address hearing loss.
World Hearing Day aims to:
- Promote public health actions for ear and hearing care
- Stimulate intersectoral partnership for ear and hearing care
- Raise awareness of hearing loss and care at national and community levels across the world
- Encourage behaviour change towards healthy EHC practices.
