3rd March, 2024. WORLD HEARING DAY THEME: "Changing mindsets: Let's make ear and hearing care a reality for all." According to WHO, over 5% of the world's population (approximately 466 million people) suffers from disabling hearing loss. This number is expected to increase in the coming years. Hearing loss can have significant impacts on an individual's quality of life, affecting communication, social interactions, education, and employment opportunities. World Hearing Day encourages individuals, communities, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to take action to prevent and address hearing loss, ensuring that everyone has access to ear and hearing care services.

World Hearing Day is observed annually on 3 March. The day is dedicated to create awareness about different types of hearing defects and several other related issues. According to the WHO, 'World Hearing Day 2024 will focus on overcoming the challenges posed by societal misperceptions and stigmatizing mindsets through awareness-raising and information-sharing, targeted at the public and health care providers'. World Hearing Day is recognized with some unique objectives like countering the misinterpretations related to hearing issues, providing adequate education to communities about ear related problems, promoting equitable access to ear & hearing care, and more. The theme for World Hearing Day 2024 is "Changing mindsets: Let's make ear and hearing care a reality for all!" 

👂 Did you know that March 3rd is known as World Hearing Day? Its goal is to raise awareness about deafness, and hearing loss while promoting hearing care all over the world. Each year, the World Health Organization comes up with a theme that guides the discussion. 🔎What's 2024's theme? Changing mindsets: Let’s make ear and hearing care a reality for all! The fact that stood out the most for me was the following: "Unaddressed hearing loss poses an annual cost of nearly US$1 trillion globally." That's a lot of money, right? As an acoustical engineer, the knowledge of human hearing is crucial for the development of technologies and understanding more about acoustics. 🤓 What to know more about it?

Did you know that repeated exposure to loud noise can impact your hearing ability? Our audiologist Tori shares some ways to preserve your hearing for National Save Your Hearing Day! When we think about noise that could damage our hearing, we often think about things like concerts or sporting events, but even everyday activities like mowing the lawn or going to a workout class with loud music can damage your hearing over time. Next time you know you’ll be in a loud environment, consider taking earplugs or over-the-ear hearing protection with you to protect your hearing. If you find yourself in these environments often, you may consider visiting an audiologist who can take a mold of your ear and have custom hearing protection created for you. In addition to physical noise protection, you can also try turning the volume lower when listening with headphones and if possible, taking periodic breaks from the loud environment to give your ears a break. Thanks for watching! #Audiology #HearingAids #HearingLoss #SaveYourHearingDay

Finding a hearing solution that actually works for your hearing loss can feel like a waste of time and money. Scheduling an appointment to have your hearing settings adjusted, waiting for the appointment day, paying the copay, going through the motions – then you go to work the next day and sit in a meeting where you still cannot fully understand what everyone is saying… It's no wonder that most people don’t bother making that next appointment to try again for the fifth time. We’ve experienced this exhausting process ourselves and knew that we had to step in and change it. Before starting Concha Labs, we asked hundreds of people why they felt dissatisfied with their hearing solution, and the data pointed to one critical problem: the lack of personalization. With this information, we felt empowered to create our own hearing personalization technology, which is how Soundscope® was born.
