World Hearing Day is a global healthcare event that has been held annually on March 3rd since 2007, originating from the headquarters in Geneva. The primary objective is to unite individuals affected by hearing loss, fostering a community that promotes awareness of the epidemiological aspects of the condition, its diagnosis, and treatment.

 

A staggering 5% of the global population, roughly 43 crores, requires rehabilitation to address ‘disabling’ hearing loss. Projections for 2050 estimate that over 70 crores, or one in every ten individuals, will grapple with debilitating hearing loss. The classification of ‘disabling’ hearing loss applies to cases exceeding 35 decibels (dB) in the better-hearing ear, with nearly 80% of those affected residing in low- and middle-income nations.

 

The significance of World Hearing Day lies in its role as a catalyst for awareness and in mitigating the impending wave of disabling hearing loss. Increased understanding facilitates early detection and proves more impactful when driven by patient involvement. Accelerated awareness can influence policies and decisions, leading to:

 

  • Guidance and support for effective healthcare tailored to hearing loss
  • Facilitation and generation of data related to ear and hearing care
  • Provision of methodological advice and technical resources for hearing care
  • Certification in ear and hearing care for health workforce training, among other initiatives

 

World Hearing Day has been endorsed by the Office for the Prevention of Blindness and Deafness of the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2007, marking March 3rd as an annual occasion to raise awareness and address the global challenges associated with hearing loss.
