World Hearing Day - 3rd March 2026
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 programmes into school health and child health plans can ensure improved outcomes for children living with ear or hearing problems.
