November 10th is Deafness Prevention and Combat
November 10th is Deafness Prevention and Combat Day in Brazil . This day was established to promote awareness about deafness prevention, encourage hearing health care, and promote access to necessary treatments and adaptations for people with hearing loss. The date was created by Law No. 11,303, enacted in 2006, with the aim of giving visibility to the importance of preventing hearing problems and improving the quality of life of people with hearing impairment. Brazil faces challenges in preventing deafness, as many cases can be avoided with preventive care and early diagnosis.
