It's World Hearing Day!
This day is set aside to raise awareness of hearing loss and promoting ear and hearing care. The campaign focuses on preventing childhood hearing loss and getting the tools to schools to help children hear, learn and succeed.
Some facts:
About 90 million children ages 5-19 live with hearing loss
More than 60% of childhood hearing loss is preventable through simple health measures
Early identification of hearing loss is crucial to prevent long term impacts on learning and future opportunities
Incorporating early screening and intervention programs into schools ensures improved outcomes for children living with ear or hearing problems.
How to observe World Hearing Day

A big and LOUD SHOUT OUT to all celebrating today. Maybe this will be helpful in getting some of my family members out there to get their hearing tested.
