World Hearing Day in Australia is held on 3 March each year to raise awareness of how to prevent deafness and hearing loss, and to promote better ear protection and health throughout the world.

Changing mindsets: Empower yourself to make ear and hearing care a reality for all!
You can take steps today to ensure good hearing health throughout life.

The theme builds upon the 2024 focus on changing mindsets towards ear and hearing care. We invite individuals of all ages to empower themselves to ensure healthy ears and hearing for themselves and others, with the theme, “Changing mindsets: empower yourself to make ear and hearing care a reality for all!”

By encouraging individuals to recognise the importance of ear and hearing health, this campaign aims to inspire them to change behaviour to protect their hearing from loud sounds and prevent hearing loss, check their 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.
