The International Noise Awareness Day was launched by the American Center for Hearing and Communication, a non-profit organization, in 1995. The aim of this global campaign, which takes place every ear in April, is to raise awareness among the general public of the issue of noise and the risks it poses. People all over the world are called upon to take part via various actions on this occasion, such as open days on hearing acousticians’ premises, lectures in public health departments, universities and schools, panels of experts, noise level measuring actions and readings.

Hear the World has been involving itself in the International Noise Awareness Day for many years now, via exciting and versatile contributions, such as, for example:

• Interviews with experts on the radio
• Flyers with tips and tricks relating to the protection of hearing
• Press reports including interesting facts to do with the topic of noise
• Measurements of the loudest places in various towns and cities
• Songs that sound just as people with reduced hearing would hear them
• Games where one has to guess the source of a noise
• Free hearing test actions
