Project title: “Promoting Accessible Hearing Care: Raising Awareness and Empowering Communities on World Hearing Day 2025”

Primary region: SEAR

Country: India

Event Description:

**Planned Event Outline for World Hearing Day 2025**

The event aims to raise awareness about hearing health, promote preventive measures, and empower individuals to access care. Through an awareness campaign, we will conduct workshops, community meetings, and distribution of informational materials to educate people about hearing loss, its prevention, and early detection. Linkage and networking initiatives will involve partnering with local health providers, audiologists, and NGOs to ensure access to free or affordable hearing screenings and assistive devices for the underprivileged.

Empowerment efforts will focus on engaging schools, workplaces, and community groups in interactive sessions to reduce stigma, encourage regular hearing checks, and advocate for inclusive policies. The event seeks to foster a collaborative approach by uniting healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the public to build a future where hearing care is accessible to all.
