03/03/2026
Every year 3rd March is celebrated as "World Hearing Day"
Ear is an important sense organ responsible for both Hearing and Balance of the body.
Catching Hearing loss is necessary to prevent further deterioration of hearing and to treat the hearing loss (which is often time sensitive).
This Hearing Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) has a very pertinent Theme for 2026 which is "From Communities to Classroom: Hearing care for all Children".
Hearing loss in children is often diagnosed late as they often have difficulty in communicating the symptom they are suffering from. The parents, teachers and doctors have an important responsibility to catch these symptoms early and get the kids tested ASAP.
The children must also be educated on appropriate use of earphones and headphones which have become a part and parcel of modern education.
As it goes with any Health condition, Prevention is always better than Cure,
