• Description:
  Over six percent of the world's population has disabling hearing loss. Across the globe, it can take years for those with hearing problems to seek care. Even when care is sought, the prescribed interventions are not often adopted. This issue has motivated the World Health Organization to coordinate World Hearing Day (WHD), an annual event that aims "to raise awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world." ... This year, NIOSH proposed and developed the online event Wiki4WorldHearing-Day2019 to facilitate the improvement of Wikipedia content related to hearing, hearing health services, hearing testing, and preventive and rehabilitative interventions. The platform provided guidance and allowed anyone with access to a computer and the internet to participate in the campaign. [Description provided by NIOSH]
