The World Health Organization founded World Hearing Day to raise awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss and to promote ear and hearing care throughout the world.

The World Hearing Day 2022 theme focuses on the importance of hearing loss prevention through safe listening, with the following key messages:

It is possible to have good hearing across the span of one’s life through ear and hearing care.
Many common causes of hearing loss can be prevented, including hearing loss caused by exposure to loud sounds.
Safe listening can mitigate the risk of hearing loss associated with recreational sound exposure.
