Hearing for life: don’t let hearing loss limit you

On World Hearing Day 2020, WHO will highlight that timely and effective interventions can ensure that people with hearing loss are able to achieve their full potential. It will draw attention to the options available in this respect.

Key messages for World Hearing Day 2020:

• At all life stages, communication and good hearing health connect us to each other, our communities, and the world.
• For those who have hearing loss, appropriate and timely interventions can facilitate access to education, employment and communication.
• Globally, there is lack of access to interventions to address hearing loss, such as hearing aids.
• Early intervention should be made available through the health systems.
