The Basic ear and hearing care resource, launched during World Hearing Day 2020, focuses on community involvement and raising awareness, and will provide useful information for preventing and addressing ear diseases and hearing loss.

 

 

Recently released, the WHO ear and hearing survey handbook aims to enable countries to gather data by planning and implementing population-based epidemiological surveys.
The handbook can facilitate the planning and conduct of prevalence surveys for hearing loss. Join us to learn the 5 WHYs of the WHO ear and hearing survey handbook:

  • WHO is the WHO ear and hearing survey handbook for?
  • WHEN can the WHO ear and hearing survey handbook be used?
