Title: Mass Campaign on good ear and hearing hygiene
Description: In support of World Hearing Day 2023, the University Of Pretoria Department Of Speech Language
Pathology and Audiology, a World Health Organization collaboration centre, conducted several
hearing promotion and prevention campaigns with the primary objective of informing the general
public about the importance of ear and hearing health. The first campaign was at Generaal Beyers
Primary School where prevention and promotion presentations were made with all learners in Grade
1-5. The presentation focused on safe listening and ear hygiene practices as well as seeking help for
hearing concerns. The second campaign was on campus, where free hearing screenings and
presentations on healthy hearing were offered to students. In reaching a large audience, the
University used different media platforms including Tuks FM, Power FM and Channel Afrika to
spread the message of good ear and listening hygiene.
