HLAA joins with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) to focus on the importance of safe listening as a means of maintaining good hearing for life on World Hearing Day (March 3). This year’s observance will feature an important development in the realm of hearing health: the introduction of WHO’s new global standard for noise in entertainment venues.

ASHA and HLAA have developed a series of informational pieces about hearing health and hearing loss for World Hearing Day. The public can find them at https://www.asha.org/world-hearing-day/.
