Happy World Hearing Day 2025!

On World Hearing Day 2025, the NCHA supports the World Health Organization's call to make ear and hearing care a reality for all.

More than 13 million adults in the UK have a hearing loss that makes it hard to hear conversational speech without hearing aids.

For those living with hearing loss, early identification and access to hearing care is essential to ageing well. Unfortunately, many people are waiting too long for NHS help with their hearing because of an unsustainable model of hearing care.

The NCHA is marking World Hearing Day by strengthening its call for equality of access to NHS-funded hearing care closer to home.
