The origin of International Hearing and Hearing Day

March 3rd every year is International Ear Day.

March 3 every year is "International Hearing and Hearing Day". In March 2013, the World Health Organization designated "China Hearing Day" as "International Hearing Day".

Noise control is one of seven key interventions to preserve hearing and highlights the importance of reducing environmental exposure to loud sounds. Many common causes of hearing loss are preventable, and the risk of hearing loss can be reduced through "safe ear use." March 3, 2022 is the 23rd "National Hearing Day" and the 10th "World Hearing Day". This year’s theme is “Use your ears carefully and keep your ears sharp for life!”. During this special period, the health center launched a special "Ear Love Day" to primary and secondary school students and parents in the district to disseminate preventive and health care knowledge about hearing, further improve the public's awareness of safe ear use, and achieve lifelong benefits through careful ear use and hearing care.
