World Hearing Day is celebrated every year on March 3 to increase awareness about hearing loss, promote the importance of ear and hearing care, and motivate action to tackle hearing-related issues. This global event, organized by the World Health Organization (WHO), focuses on a specific theme each year to encourage both individuals and policymakers to take proactive measures in the realm of hearing health.
For 2025, the theme is “Changing mindsets: Empower yourself to make ear and hearing care a reality for all!” This theme continues from the 2024 focus on altering attitudes towards hearing care and aims to motivate individuals to take ownership of their hearing health.
