World Hearing Day - 3rd March 2023
World Hearing Day is held each year on March 3 to raise awareness on how to prevent hearing loss, tinnitus, deafness, and how to care for your ears. The World Health Organization (WHO) creates a campaign each year to share information and awareness about hearing loss and how to improve hearing care.
This year the WHO is highlighting that ear and hearing problems are among the most common problems encountered in the community.
Early intervention can help slow the progress of hearing loss, and you can learn how to manage your hearing loss. Even if your hearing loss isn’t significant, it is important to have your hearing checked the first time you notice any signs of hearing loss. Your Audiologist can work with you to learn coping strategies during noisy situations.
All About Hearing is here to help you manage your hearing loss. Book an appointment with one of our friendly and caring Audiologists to discuss any hearing concerns you may have.

Let’s End Deafness on this World Hearing Day
In order to create awareness about deafness and hearing impairments, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced in 2007 that the 3rd of March would be celebrated as World Hearing Day. According to WHO, over five per cent of the world’s population suffers from some kind of hearing impairment. It is also estimated that by 2050, more than 700 million people will be dealing with some kind of hearing issue. Add to that, at least 1 billion people are at risk of permanent, avoidable hearing loss due to unsafe listening habits.
To combat the highly-ignored and dangerous trend, WHO tries its best to prevent this epidemic by creating awareness about deafness, and hearing impairments and promoting healthy listening habits.
The theme for this year is “Ear and hearing care for all! Let’s make it a reality”. The objective of this theme is to:
Draw attention of decision makers in governments and civil society groups towards the WHO’s recommendations regarding integration of ear and hearing care into Primary Health Care.
Encourage governments to integrate primary ear and hearing care into training programmes for health care providers at primary level.
Call attention of primary level health care providers (health workers and physicians) towards the needs of people with hearing loss and ear disease.
Inform people about the importance of ear and hearing care and encourage them to seek services.
A new training manual called ‘Primary ear and hearing care training manual’ will also be released on 3rd March.
Donate Hearing-Aids to a person suffering from hearing impairment
Hearing Aids or Cochlear Implants are the best way to empower people with hearing impairment. It makes them more independent and helps them feel safe in society. You can donate a hearing aid to your friend who is suffering from hearing loss or start a crowdfunding event to fund someone’s cochlear implant.
2. Promote Sign Languages
People suffering from hearing loss often have to rely on visual cues to communicate. It becomes extremely difficult for them to interact with others without the use of sign language. So, you can take up sign language classes or conduct a sign language session to learn some basic sign language. This will help the deaf in your community to interact with people in your society.
3. Promote Healthy Listening Habits
As mentioned above, it is estimated that by 2050 over 1 billion people will suffer from some kind of avoidable hearing loss. This can easily be prevented if we promote safe and healthy listening habits. You can use social media to spread habits like listening to low sounds, using earmuffs etc.
4. Support NGOs for the Deaf
There are various NGOs in India trying their best to make the lives of deaf people easier. You can help them in fulfilling their mission by donating or volunteering for them. Some of these NGOs are Sense International India, VAANI, Sounds of Silence etc.
5. Support the hearing-impaired in their ventures
You can also help people with hearing impairment by supporting them in their ventures. You can promote their businesses or help them with their aspirations. This will make them feel loved and will empower them to move ahead in their life.
So, Let’s pledge to help the hearing-impaired people in our community, and make their lives easier.

WHO puts Kerala girl on World Hearing Day poster
Rizwana was six years old when she first heard the music of the rain and the joyous twitter of birds in the morning. She did not know till then that the anklets on her feet could produce such a melodious jingle… or that hearing her mom’s voice for the first time can bring her such joy.
The world that the cochlear implant opened up for Rizwana, who was born with hearing impairment, was nothing…

Man I just love dressing crazy. Star-shaped eyeliner, jacket covered in bottle caps with smiley faces, bright pink glasses, piercings in my face. I thrive in the weird looks from strangers. I love being that person little kids think is a fairy and remember for years. I love giggling at myself while I make faces in the mirror.
To me, this is what it is to be punk. To make weird, messy art. To sing your crooked voice as loud as you can. To be the most beautiful ugly. To be that creature 8 year old you wrote stories about in their school notebooks. To be the greatest you you can be.
There is nobody on this Earth who can do you like you. So why not go out and be the best you the world's ever seen?
#plus i have an umbrella with a duck head that i added gitd stars to the inside of and i think that just adds to it#i think on my next one i wanna use gitd paint to add a firework on the inside#punk#punk culture#self love#beauty in the eye of the beholder#ugly is beautiful#wait until you hear about my (correct) opinion that literally anybody can make music#dance for hours a day#crust punk#baby punk#battle jacket#punk diy#be weird#just ask me and i will give you hours on why the world is beautiful#don't tolerate intolerance#punk fashion

its a shame that scientology is the name of a rich person cult and not a really cool religion that thinks of scientific equations and laws of physics as a celestial language that allows us to understand the universe and the energies of wind and gravity and that the forces that act on the world around us are holy and curiosity to learn about them is holy and being a scholar learning to fight against them and work with them and discover new ones makes you a prophet. or whatever
#time is the ultimate divine force that warps under the influence of its love space. can anybody hear me#aeroscience is getting wind and fire to work with you to manipulate your situation against gravity. hello?#the world is so enormous. dancing happens every day. love is chemicals but love is seeing and love is hearing and love is understanding#can you hear me? is anybody there? is everybody there?#electricity running along the nerves of a body loves you#electricity in the atmosphere loves you all the same!!!!!

There’s a line from American Gods I keep coming back to in relation to Yellowjackets, an observation made early on by Shadow in prison: “The kind of behavior that works in a specialized environment, such as prison, can fail to work and in fact become harmful when used outside such an environment.” I keep rotating it in my head in thinking about the six survivors, the roles they occupy in the wilderness, and the way the show depicts them as adults in society.
Because in the wilderness, as in prison, they’re trapped—they’re suffering, they’re traumatized, they’re terrified—but they’re also able to construct very specific boxes to live in. And, in a way, that might make it easier. Cut away the fat, narrow the story down to its base arc. You are no longer the complex young woman who weighs a moral compass before acting. You no longer have the luxury of asking questions. You are a survivor. You have only to get to the next day.
Shauna: the scribe. Lottie: the prophet. Van: the acolyte. Taissa: the skeptic. Misty: the knight. Natalie: the queen. Neat, orderly, the bricks of a new kind of society. And it works in the woods; we know this because these six survive. (Add Travis: the hunter, while you’re at it, because he does make it to adulthood).
But then they’re rescued. And it’s not just lost purpose and PTSD they’re dealing with now, but a loss of that intrinsic identity each built in the woods. How do you go home again? How do you rejoin a so-called civilized world, where all the violence is restricted to a soccer field, to an argument, to your own nightmares?
How does the scribe, the one who wrote it all out in black and white to make sense of the horrors, cope with a world that would actively reject her story? She locks that story away. But she can’t stop turning it over in her head. She can’t forget the details. They’re waiting around every corner. In the husband beside her in bed. In the child she can’t connect with across the table. In the best friend whose parents draw her in, make her the object of their grief, the friend who lives on in every corner of their hometown. She can’t forget, so she tries so hard to write a different kind of story instead, to fool everyone into seeing the soft maternal mask and not the butcher beneath, and she winds up with blood on her hands just the same.
How does the prophet come back from the religion a desperate group made of her, a group that took her tortured visions, her slipping mental health, and built a hungry need around the very things whittling her down? She builds over the bones. She creates a place out of all that well-intended damage, and she tells herself she’s helping, she’s saving them, she has to save them, because the world is greedy and needs a leader, needs a martyr, needs someone to stand up tall and reassure everyone at the end of the day that they know what’s best. The world, any world, needs someone who will take those blows so the innocent don’t have to. She’s haunted by everyone she didn’t save, by the godhood assigned to her out of misplaced damage, and when the darkness comes knocking again, there is nothing else to do but repeat old rhymes until there is blood on her hands just the same.
How does the acolyte return to a world that cares nothing for the faith of the desperate, the faith that did nothing to save most of her friends, that indeed pushed her to destroy? She runs from it. She dives into things that are safe to believe in, things that rescue lonely girls from rough home lives, things that show a young queer kid there’s still sunshine out there somewhere. She delves into fiction, makes a home inside old stories to which she already knows the endings, coaxes herself away from the belief that damned her and into a cinemascope safety net where the real stuff never has to get in. She teaches herself surface-level interests, she avoids anything she might believe in too deeply, and still she’s dragged back to the place where blood winds up on her hands just the same.
How does the skeptic make peace with the things she knows happened, the things that she did even without meaning to, without realizing? She buries them. She leans hard into a refusal to believe those skeletons could ever crawl back out of the graves she stuffed them into, because belief is in some ways the opposite of control. She doesn’t talk to her wife. She doesn’t talk to anyone. It’s not about what’s underneath the surface, because that’s just a mess, so instead she actively discounts the girl she became in the woods. She makes something new, something rational and orderly, someone who can’t fail. She polishes the picture to a shine, and she stands up straight, the model achievement. She goes about her original plan like it was always going to be that way, and she winds up with blood on her hands just the same.
How does the knight exist in a world with no one to serve, no one to protect, no reason propelling the devastating choices she had grown comfortable making? She rechannels it. She convinces herself she’s the smartest person in the room, the most capable, the most observant. She convinces herself other people’s mysteries are hers to solve, that she is helping in every single action she takes. She makes a career out of assisting the most fragile, the most helpless souls she can find, and she makes a hobby out of patrolling for crimes to solve, and when a chance comes to strap her armor back on and ride into battle, she rejoices in the return to normalcy. She craves that station as someone needed, someone to rely upon in the darkest of hours, and she winds up with blood on her hands because, in a way, she never left the wilderness at all.
How does the queen keep going without a queendom, without a pack, without people to lead past the horrors of tomorrow? She doesn’t. She simply does not know how. She scrounges for something, anything, that will make her feel connected to the world the way that team did. She moves in and out of a world that rejects trauma, punishes the traumatized, heckles the grieving as a spectacle. She finds comfort in the cohesive ritual of rehabilitation, this place where she gets so close to finding herself again, only to stumble when she opens her eyes and sees she’s alone. All those months feeding and guiding and gripping fast to the fight of making it to another day, and she no longer knows how to rest. How to let go without falling. She no longer wears a crown, and she never wanted it in the first place, so how on earth does she survive a world that doesn’t understand the guilt and shame of being made the centerpiece of a specialized environment you can never explain to anyone else? How, how, how do you survive without winding up with blood on your hands just the same?
All six of these girls found, for better or worse, a place in the woods. All six of them found, for better or worse, a reason to get up the next day. For each other. And then they go home, and even if they all stayed close, stayed friends, it’d still be like stepping out of chains for the first time in years. Where do you go? How do you make small choices when every decision for months was life or death? How do you keep the part of yourself stitched so innately into your survival in a world that would scream to see it? How do you do away with the survivor and still keep going?
They brought it back with them. Of course they did. It was the only way.
#yellowjackets#yellowjackets spoilers#yj meta#long post#shauna shipman#lottie matthews#taissa turner#van palmer#misty quigley#natalie scatorccio#the question not being how do you survive the wilderness. the question being how do you come BACK.#the way each of them tries so hard to keep moving forward#unable to untangle the girl in the woods from the adult suffering in polite society#how the world doesn’t want to hear about the pain or the night terrors or the sleepwalking or the addiction#the world wants the bright colors and the flash-bang headlines#the world doesn’t want who they are. who they had to be. it wants pretty perfect tragedy#that specialized environment lives on in each one of them every day#but it’s not a place anyone else can ever go#how do you feed that for so long and then just…stop?#constantly thinking about nat saying we didn’t make it out. none of us.#because no. no they didn’t. the girls died the minute that rescue chance did. what came back was risen from those ashes
