[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Around the world, about 95 million school-aged children are deaf or have hearing loss.

60% of these cases are preventable, but left undetected and untreated.

On #WorldHearingDay, I call on countries to prevent avoidable hearing loss through early detection and referral — including in classroom.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Today is #WorldHearingDay.

Did you know? More than 95 million children and teenagers live with hearing loss. Many don’t get health services to remedy this.

Spot the possible signs of hearing loss in children:

⁉️ Frequently asking you to repeat
📖 Struggling with attention or keeping up at school
👂 Complaining of ear pain or ear discharge
🗣️ Showing delayed speech and language development

Early checkups and simple treatments can make a big difference. Don’t wait! Take your child for a hearing test. Learn more 🔗 https://t.co/92cjuU3tHA

A healthy heart helps protect your ears. This #AJA study by @YevenesB et al. found that even small improvements in #LifeEssential8 were linked to a lower risk of hearing loss. https://t.co/T90n0mtSQL @ASHAweb @CSDisseminate #AUDPeeps

New study out! 📣
Heart‑healthy today, better hearing tomorrow? ❤️👂
In our new American Journal of Audiology paper, a ≥4% improvement in the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 over ~2.4 years was linked to lower odds of speech‑ and high‑frequency hearing loss

El Dr. @YevenesB ha realizado un estudio internacional publicado en JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery. El trabajo, en colaboración con @JohnsHopkinsSPH, New York University y @SDSU, analiza la pérdida auditiva y el uso de audífonos en personas mayores hispanas en EEUU🇺🇸👂

[Humberto Yévenes B @YevenesB]

🧠👂 Our latest study! Better diet, better hearing in older age.
A study of 1,600+ older adults found that higher dietary micronutrient adequacy was linked to a lower prevalence of hearing loss.
👉 Eating well may help protect your hearing.

https://t.co/i0lZxNTC26 👁️👂 Vision and hearing loss are not only quality-of-life issues — they are strongly linked to frailty.

In our study of >105,000 @uk_biobank participants, we found that having both impairments doubles the probability of frailty.
