World Hearing Day is observed annually on March 3rd, serving as a global initiative to raise awareness about hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world. Coordinated by the World Health Organisation (WHO), this day addresses the growing prevalence of hearing loss and aims to prevent hearing impairment through public health strategies and advocacy.

Each year, World Hearing Day focuses on a specific theme to highlight different aspects of hearing health. The themes often include promoting hearing screening, early intervention, and the importance of hearing protection. The day also provides an opportunity to advocate for policies and programs that enhance access to hearing care services, particularly in underserved communities.

Activities on World Hearing Day include awareness campaigns, educational events, and community outreach programs. The goal is to engage individuals, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the broader public in efforts to prevent and address hearing loss, ultimately working toward a world where everyone has access to quality hearing care and protection.
