World Hearing Day takes place on 3 March 2018. The theme is 'Hear the Future' and the event aims to draw attention to the anticipated increase in the number of people with hearing loss around the world in the coming decades. It will focus on preventive strategies to stem this rise and outline steps to ensure access to the necessary rehabilitation services, communication tools and products for people with hearing loss.
