Activities will include awareness campaigns in schools, where educational materials on ear care and hearing loss prevention will be distributed. Free hearing screenings will be conducted, along with education on ear hygiene and safe listening practices. A policy roundtable will engage local policymakers to discuss the need for accessible hearing healthcare services in schools and communities. Additionally, a digital campaign will raise broader awareness through social media. The event aims to empower students with knowledge on hearing protection and advocate for systemic policy change to improve ear and hearing care services in local communities.
