About this event

World Hearing Day 2025 is just around the corner, and this year’s theme is all about Changing mindsets: empower yourself to make ear and hearing care a reality for all!”

This year’s theme builds upon the 2024 focus on changing mindsets towards ear and hearing care. 

This campaign aims to inspire behaviour change to protect hearing from loud sounds, prevent hearing loss, check hearing regularly, use hearing devices if needed, and support those living with hearing loss. Empowered individuals can drive change within themselves and in society at large.

Key messages for 2025: 

  • By 2030, over 500 million people are expected to have disabling hearing loss requiring rehabilitation.  
  • Over one billion young people face the risk of permanent hearing loss due to prolonged exposure to loud sounds during recreational pastimes such as listening to music and video gameplay.
  • How we hear in the future depends on how we care for our ears today as many cases of hearing loss can be avoided through the adoption of safe listening and good hearing care practices. For those living with hearing loss, early identification and access to timely rehabilitation are essential to achieving their highest potential. 
  •  You can take steps today to ensure good hearing health throughout life.
