Understanding the ways of damaging hearing and possible ways of prevention is crucial in modern world, where children are sourranded by noise, loud sounds (e.g. in headphones, etc.). Education about quality of hearing should begin in the kindegarten. Teaching young children about risks and prevention of hearing and voice is a key element in the public health. Hearing screening tests will be also performed in children from 5 y.o. (higher group in the kindegarten and primary school).
