World Hearing Day
Description:
Our primary activities were our digital toolkit (https://www.asha.org/about/press-room/world-hearing-day) and an advocacy campaign mobilizing member audiologists and other interested parties (https://ashaa.quorum.us/campaign/whd26/).
We disseminated a press release nationally; pitched media outlets for WHD interviews; collaborated with the Educational Audiology Association; and encouraged our member audiologists to actively promote the day.
ASHA staff participated in a syndicated interview for CNN Health Minute that aired on over 250 television stations across the United States (https://www.local10.com/health/2026/03/03/disabling-hearing-loss-also-affects-babies-and-children-expert-says/).
