Here's an important video message about children's hearing health from the Director-General of the World Health Organization. Today is World Hearing Day, so spread the word. #WorldHearingDay2026
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus@DrTedros
Around the world, about 95 million school-aged children are deaf or have hearing loss. 60% of these cases are preventable, but left undetected and untreated. On #WorldHearingDay, I call on countries to prevent avoidable hearing loss through early detection and referral — including in classroom.
