For the celebration, on February 25 2019 WHO launched "[https://www.who.int/deafness/hearWHO/en/ hearWHO]", a free application for mobile devices which allows people to check their hearing regularly and intervene early in case of hearing loss. The app is targeted at those who are at risk of hearing loss or who already experience some of the symptoms related to hearing loss.
