When is the World Hearing Day observed?

World Hearing Day is March 4th every year. Several people are living with unrecognized hearing loss. This day will arouse people's attention to early detection of hearing loss.
  • This day promotes the health of ears and hearing, and makes people aware of how to prevent deafness and hearing loss.
  • According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 466 million people have hearing impairments that are disabled. By 2050, it will affect one in ten people.
  • Previously, on World Hearing Day 2019, WHO launched a new mobile and web-based application called "HearWHO".
  • Specifically, the app allows people to check their hearing on a regular basis. In addition, it is necessary to detect hearing loss as early as possible.
  • In addition, the application can also display the user's score, which means that the results of the test can be stored so that the user can monitor the hearing status over time. Hearing apps benefit people who are often exposed to high sound quality.
  • The WHO organizes its annual World Hearing Day seminar at its Geneva headquarters. The theme of the year 2021: Hearing Care for ALL! Screen, Rehabilitate, Communicate. World Hearing Day 2021 will mark the release of the first "World Hearing Report" in history.
