World Hearing Day is observed on 03 March each year globally. The World Hearing Day campaign is organized by the Office of Prevention of Blindness and Deafness, an organ of the World Health Organization.
This event commenced in 2007 as International Ear Care Day. Later, in 2016, the name got changed to World Hearing Day.
The main objectives behind the World Hearing Day are “to share information and promote steps towards the prevention of hearing loss and improved hearing care”. To achieve these targets, each year World Health Organisation selects a theme, develops educational materials around the chosen theme and makes the educational material available for free in several languages worldwide.
Let’s not read or learn about World Hearing Day just for the sake of it.Let us Strive to develop appropriate ear care habits for yourself, then share them with others. Also, do not let a person's condition prevent you from communicating with them if they have lost their capacity to hear for any reason. If we all make an effort to learn some fundamental sign language techniques, we can all communicate with persons who have severe hearing loss.
Every year, a theme is selected that can promote the message of the international day in a better way. This year’s 2023 theme is “Ear and hearing care for all!” The theme for this year’s World Hearing Day shines the light on the importance of integrating ear and hearing care in primary care. And all this is considered an essential component of universal health coverage.
