Celebrating World Hearing Day

Celebrating World Hearing Day

“To hear for life, listen with care!”

March 3, 2022, is World Hearing Day! Every year, the World Health Organization (WHO) presents a World Hearing Day to raise awareness of hearing loss and hearing healthcare. Millions around the world have some form of hearing loss, but either don’t know it or don’t acknowledge it. The good news is that Clarity Audiology provides effective hearing treatment in Baltimore, MD, and many hearing loss conditions are preventable. Here’s how you can celebrate World Hearing Day every day!

“To hear for life, listen with care!”

This year’s World Hearing Day theme is the slogan, “To hear for life, listen with care!” This saying encourages everyone to be mindful about their hearing health, rather than assume they can hear no matter the situation. Ears are more delicate and powerful than one might think, alarming the body that something is wrong and allowing us to communicate with the world. The overall theme of this year’s World Hearing Day is ultimately to encourage all to take care of their hearing to prevent the most common hearing conditions today.

Preventable Hearing Loss

Believe it or not, it is possible to live one’s entire life with healthy hearing! Hearing loss can affect anyone at any time; although many think of hearing loss as a symptom of old age, it is actually common across all ages. With today’s entertainment, such as music, audiobooks, podcasts, videos, and more, constant sound can wear out a person’s hearing. Other influences such as music concerts and common household machineries like lawnmowers and blenders can also have an effect. 

The type of hearing loss that could result from exposure is noise-induced hearing loss. It can come about due to exposure to damagingly loud noises or constant moderate noise. For example, musicians can lose some hearing after years of noise exposure from practicing their instrument and performing.

Another type of preventable hearing loss is conductive hearing loss, which implies that something is stuck in your ear or that it is inflamed. A cold could cause temporary hearing loss, as could built-up earwax.

Unfortunately, permanent hearing loss can result when people fail to take care of their overall health. Eating delicious, nutrient-rich foods in a balanced diet, plus exercising regularly, are great ways to take care of your ears!
