March 3
March 3 is World Hearing Day and aims to raise global awareness about the importance of hearing health and the prevention of hearing impairments. The day, promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO), seeks to raise awareness about the negative impacts of hearing loss, which affects millions of people around the world.
Hearing loss can often be prevented or treated with early diagnosis and appropriate care. World Hearing Day is an opportunity to highlight the need for regular hearing monitoring, especially in children and the elderly, and to promote practices that help prevent hearing damage, such as reducing exposure to excessive noise and the proper use of hearing protectors.
The theme of each year's World Hearing Day focuses on specific issues related to hearing health, such as early detection of hearing problems, access to hearing health services, and the importance of lifelong hearing care. The event is also a time to reinforce public policies related to hearing health and promote educational campaigns on preventive care.
