As part of the promotional activities for World Hearing Day, the World Hearing Forum (WHF), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Coalition for Global Hearing Health (CGHH) are inviting proposals for WHF-CGHH Small Grants for World Hearing Day 2025.
World Hearing Day 2025 will be celebrated on 3 March 2025 with the theme “Changing mindsets: empower yourself to make hearing and hearing care a reality for all”. World Hearing Day 2025 highlights the importance of changing attitudes towards deafness and hearing loss in civil society and health professionals.
