Wiki for World Hearing Day 2025
Description:
The Wiki4WorldHearingDay2025 campaign is a recurring initiative organized by various research, educational, and hearing health institutions. It aims to improve global access to free, reliable information about hearing and hearing health. Participants are invited to create, edit, and translate content on Wikimedia projects on topics such as hearing services, testing, prevention, and treatment. By addressing knowledge gaps and supporting multilingual contributions, the campaign ensures information reaches diverse audiences worldwide. Open to everyone, it celebrates World Hearing Day by fostering collaboration and raising awareness to promote better hearing health globally.

Together, they contributed over 21,900 words and 164 references, revised 242 articles, and created 13 new entries on Wikipedia. These contributions have already received more than 100,000 Wikipedia pages visualizations. It includes the WikiLabs Hearing Health event, organized as a Wikipedia editing initiative for International Noise Awareness Day, taken in parallel with school-based health education activities in Brazil.
