Established by the World Health Organization, World Hearing Day is held on March 3rd every year and is aimed at raising awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world. The theme of the 2019 campaign, organized by the World Health OrganizationExternal (WHO), is “Check your hearingExternal,” as data from both developed and developing countries indicate that a significant part of the burden associated with hearing loss comes from unaddressed hearing difficulties, according to NIOSH.
