World Hearing Day Significance

World Hearing Day plays a great role in educating people to share information and promote actions towards the prevention of hearing loss and improved hearing care. Hearing loss is a growing global issue, with millions of people affected due to aging, noise exposure, infections, and genetic factors.

Many cases of hearing loss are preventable through proper ear hygiene, safe listening practices, vaccinations, and regular check-ups. World Hearing Day serves as a reminder to protect our hearing by avoiding excessive noise, using ear protection, and spreading awareness about hearing health.
