Bill > SCR1037

This resolution proclaims March 3, 2026, as World Hearing Day in Arizona, recognizing the critical role hearing plays in communication, relationships, health, and safety, and highlighting the significant negative impacts of hearing loss, such as cognitive decline, depression, and financial repercussions, noting that noise-induced hearing loss is preventable and that millions of Americans could benefit from hearing aids but do not use them. The resolution also acknowledges the work of the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing in serving Arizonans with hearing impairments and encourages citizens to protect their hearing and undergo regular hearing checks with licensed professionals. World Hearing Day, founded by the World Health Organization (WHO), is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about preventing deafness and hearing loss and promoting ear and hearing care globally.
