This year, on March 3rd, World Hearing Day highlights the theme
“From communities to classrooms: Hearing care for all children.”
Communities and classrooms are natural entry points to reach children, parents, and teachers to educate about the importance of hearing and detecting hearing loss. By integrating hearing care into school health and child health programmes, can help children hear, learn, and succeed.
In Canada, some children have access to early hearing detection and intervention programs, however,, comprehensive hearing care doesn’t end with a pass result. Progressive, delayed onset and milder forms of hearing loss can go undetected with newborn hearing screening.
This World Hearing Day reach out to educators in your community, share these posters, and talk with them about the important role they play in identifying undetected hearing loss.
