Home » World Hearing Day 2025: protecting workers’ hearing with Flexshield
Each year on March 3rd, the World Health Organisation (WHO) marks World Hearing Day, raising awareness about hearing loss and promoting actions to protect auditory health. In 2025, the theme is focused on “Hearing Health for All: A Sound Investment.”
It’s a theme that aligns perfectly with Flexshield’s mission to provide innovative noise control solutions that safeguard the hearing of workers across many different industries.
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is one of the most common occupational hazards, yet it is entirely preventable. Prolonged exposure to loud machinery, industrial equipment, or other workplace noise can lead to irreversible damage, affecting not only workers’ hearing but also their overall wellbeing.
What’s more, excessive noise can reduce productivity, increase stress levels, and create safety risks by making it harder to hear alarms or communicate effectively. That’s why effective noise control is crucial for protecting workers’ hearing.
Over 48 million people worldwide suffer from disabling hearing loss due to occupational noise exposure.
NIHL is 100% preventable with proper measures in place.
The financial cost of unaddressed hearing loss is estimated to be in the billions globally due to lost productivity and medical expenses. That’s why protecting workers’ hearing is so important.
