The first ever WHO World Report on Hearing, is a seminal report on hearing healthcare which discusses barriers and solutions to improving the quality of life of persons with hearing loss. IFHOH, with EFHOH and IFHOHYP, have produced a summary of key issues arising out of the World Report. The document uses the framework of H.E.A.R.I.N.G. from the World Report to identify key messages; this summary document is intended as a tool for your advocacy work.
