Event Description:
Pre-World Hearing Day activities will focus on social media engagement. A campaign promoting hearing loss prevention will share educational content like infographics and videos, emphasizing “Protect Your Hearing: Simple Steps for a Lifetime of Sound Health.” Live Q&A sessions with audiologists and ENT specialists will highlight the importance of regular ear check-ups and provide daily ear care tips and early warning signs of hearing loss. A week-long hashtag campaign will promote inclusivity for those with hearing loss, collaborating with influencers to break down stigma.
World Hearing Day will feature a partnership with a medical establishment to offer free ear check-ups and counseling in a selected high school in Abuja, Nigeria. This one-day event will target students and underserved community members, providing hearing loss and ear infection screenings, one-on-one counseling on hearing health, and distributing educational materials on ear care.
