every sound, 

every voice, 

and every child’s right 

to hear and be heard.

·        Your ears start working before birth—babies can hear their mom’s voice in the womb!

·        The middle ear has the smallest bones in your body: malleus, incus, and stapes.

·        Your brain can process sounds in just 0.1 seconds.

·        About 1 in 5 people worldwide experience hearing loss.

·        Children who are Deaf or hard of hearing often use hearing aids or cochlear implants to connect with the world.
