Event Description
This year, World Hearing Day highlights the theme "From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children."

The campaign focuses on two imperatives:
  • Preventing avoidable childhood hearing loss
  • Ensuring early identification of and care for children with ear or hearing problems
Communities and classrooms are natural entry points to reach children, parents, and teachers. By integrating hearing care into school health and child health programs, we can help children hear, learn, and succeed. 

Key Messages
  • Around 90 million children aged 5-19 years, live with hearing loss
  • Over 60% of childhood hearing loss is preventable through simple, cost-effective public health measures.
  • Among those living with ear diseases or hearing loss, early identification and care are crucial to prevent long-term impacts on development, education, and future opportunities.
  • Integrating systematic screening and early intervention programs into school health and child health plans can ensure improved outcomes for children living with ear or hearing problems.
