What is World Hearing Day?
World Hearing Day was created by the World Health Organization (WHO) has its vision. Their vision is to raise awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world. World Hearing Day is celebrated on 3rd of March every year across the globe. This year’s theme is “Hearing for life: don’t let hearing loss limit you”.
The reason why this theme is selected is because WHO expresses the key message that timely and effective interventions can ensure that people with hearing loss or disability are able to achieve their full potential. The key message is:
- At all life stages, communication and good hearing health connect us to each other, our communities, and the world.
- For those who have hearing loss, appropriate and timely interventions can facilitate access to education, employment and communication.
- Globally, there is lack of access to interventions to address hearing loss, such as hearing aids.
- Early intervention should be made available through the health systems.
