World Hearing Day
Ear and hearing care for all! Let’s make it a reality.
Celebrate World Hearing Day on March 3rd by raising awareness for Ear and Hearing Care for All! The importance of good hearing cannot be overstated - it affects communication, quality of life, social participation, and overall health.
Preventable hearing loss is on the rise, and the cost is staggering - both financially and personally. That's why this year's World Hearing Day theme is "Ear and hearing care for all! Let's make it a reality," focusing on integrating ear and hearing care into primary care services.
