The 3rd of March 2021 marks World Hearing Day with the theme of this year to be 'Hearing Care for All: Screen, Rehabilitate, Communicate!'
The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched the first-ever 'World Report on Hearing' and has put forward 5 key messages for the general public in relation to hearing:
Good hearing and communication are important at all stages of life.
Hearing loss (and related ear diseases) can be avoided through preventative actions such as: protection against loud sounds; good ear care practices and immunization.
Hearing loss (and related ear diseases) can be addressed when it is identified in a timely manner and appropriate care sought.
People at risk of hearing loss should check their hearing regularly.
People having hearing loss (or related ear diseases) should seek care from a health care provider (WHO, 2021).

World Hearing Day 2021 is a great reminder for all of us to take better care of our hearing health. Too often people ignore the early signs of hearing loss until it becomes a real struggle in daily life. Getting regular check-ups and using the right hearing aids can make a huge difference in quality of living. It’s all about staying connected with mates, family, and the community. Raising awareness like this helps more Aussies look after their hearing before it’s too late.
