Launch of the 2019 Prevention Campaign for World Hearing Day on March 3rd: German Tinnitus Foundation Charité Supports #HIERGEHÖRT by the Good Hearing Initiative
On the occasion of International “World Hearing Day” on March 3, 2019, the German Tinnitus Foundation Charité is supporting #HIERGEHÖRT. Initiated by the Berlin-based nonprofit Good Hearing Initiative, this campaign aims to visually highlight everyday noise in metropolitan areas and draw attention to the detrimental impact of loudness on human auditory health. The “World Hearing Day” also marks the kickoff for this year’s foundation prevention campaign: Following the current recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the focus in 2019 is primarily on developing educational and training materials for children and adolescents from kindergarten through school.
