We've been busy celebrating May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, but did anyone know about the International Day for Ear and Hearing? I certainly didn't until I stumble upon it on WHO's website.
It's on the 3rd of March every year!
WHO | International Day for Ear and Hearing, 3 March 2012
No prize to those who guessed why 3.3 is chosen as the special date. The shape of the numbers represent the two ears! It should be easy for people to remember then :)
It is actually still new, as the initiative started in China in April 2007, during the first International Conference on Prevention and Rehabilitation of Hearing Impairment. You can read more about it here.
I'm always happy when something is done to increase the awareness on hearing impairment. So spread the news, people!
