World Hearing Day in Ostrava
Description:
On March 3, 2025, the second annual World Hearing Day event in Ostrava was held in Ostrava, organized by our association “Jsem jedno ucho, z. s.”. The event was held under the auspices of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic and the Governor of the Moravian-Silesian Region. Throughout the day, hearing experts checked the hearing of visitors. In total, they checked the hearing of 100 participants during the day. As part of the rich accompanying program, discussions were held with elementary school students and senior clubs, led by a deaf medical student at the Faculty of Medicine in Ostrava. After the event, we received a lot of wonderful feedback from the participants. This event attracted great attention not only from local but also from national media.

Impactful Story:
A student from the Secondary Medical School came to have her hearing measured. She had previously had problems with one ear, in which she temporarily stopped hearing. A biomedical engineer checked her hearing and measured only a slight hearing loss. The student confided that she likes listening to music. During the conversation, the student learned new information for her – what is the safe threshold for listening to music or how to properly clean her ears to prevent earwax from getting clogged. She never wants to experience the feeling of helplessness that accompanied her when she temporarily went deaf again.
