HEARING HEALTH FOUNDATION

Communication/education - hearing health foundation's "keep listening" campaign is an evergreen initiative to educate all ages about the importance of hearing health and preventing hearing damage, including tinnitus, from the only fully modifiable cause of hearing loss: excess noise. Through engaging broadcast tv public service announcements and concerted social media outreach, the campaign sounds the alarm of listening too loud and too long such as through headphones and at noisy music and recreational venues, and teaches simple lifestyle changes to protect hearing such as using earplugs, taking hearing breaks, and advocating for quieter shared public spaces. In addition to tv and social media, hhf broadly shares educational content and research updates through the website and (see schedule o)blog, print magazine, digital newsletter, and at conferences.
